Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, rolling out from Salmon Street Springs every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic, party-paced social ride with warmth and weirdness from our welcoming “rolling dive bar” regulars. Most rides feature regularly spaced park and store stops, generally leading to a lively end spot around 11 PM. Come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. Strong Thursday traditions, stronger shared expectations. While you might see some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct. If you’ve been asked not to attend *any* Shift rides, you are not welcome at TNR—that’s not up for debate on our ride. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. TNR works best when everyone helps set the tone and shares responsibility. Look out for each other, welcome new riders and help them find the next stop, leave it better than you found it, give people space when they need it, and help keep the ride moving forward together by practicing Consent, Accountability, Respect, and De-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements after 7:30, leave after “Beer Minutes.” 🕢 If you’re not at the fountain by 7:30, you may want to meet us at the next stop. 🧭 Ride Tracker: https://thursdaynightride.com/tracker https://ridewithgps.com/users/1303039/live_log

Thursday Night Ride

⛲️ If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to get involved, come early and ask for the ride leader—we’ll see you at the fountain!

Paradox: a person or thing having seemingly contradictory qualities or phases Junction: an act of joining: the state of being joined This is a moderate pace, no drop ride, with park trails. Bring a big heart

Thursday nights. Hard start at 8:05 PM. It's almost the weekend, so let's ride bikes. We roll from and return to Columbia Park (meet in front of the pool) for an hour-ish ramble through North Portland and beyond. No agenda beyond riding bikes with good people. Expect roughly 10 miles at a conversation-friendly pace (~10 mph). We usually have a brief rest stop along the way for snacks, stretching, high fives, admiring a weird tree, taking in a panoramic view, or whatever else seems important at the time. This is a no-drop ride. Basket bikes, ATBs, all-road bikes, cruisers, "gravel" bikes, fancy bikes, old bikes, rusty bikes, whatever. If your bike can comfortably cruise at ~10 mph for an hour, it’ll be fine. Bring:
-Front and rear lights (required)
-Snacks if you'd like
-water or optional beverage, maximum vibes (no store stop). And, an extra bike tube wouldn't hurt! Remember, wherever we end up along the way, we always practice Leave No Trace! Meet: 7:45 PM
. Roll: 8:05 PM sharp
. Start & Finish: Columbia Park, in front of the pool. Come meet your neighbors and see what North Portland looks like after dark. Last Thursday Pre-Ride Social: 9/24 (Funhouse Brews: 7717 N Emerald Ave), 10/29 (TBD). Check back for pre-game location(s). https://www.iqair.com/air-quality/usa/oregon/portland https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

Portland's Underground Cargo & Utility Bike Racing Event returns for its FIFTH YEAR - Carry Sh*t Olympics is a weekend-long series of competitive events which includes: a 24 hour scavenger hunt (for any and all types of bikes), a Friday Night Ride with fun mini-games, cargo polo (bike polo but there's 2 people on a bike), and a closed-course circuit race for bikes made for hauling! THE 24 SCAVENGER HUNT: START: Friday 9/25, 7PM ENDS: Saturday, 9/26, 7PM HOWS IT WORK? Meet at the Abernathy Elementary gazebo at 7PM on Friday. Hunters will receive a manifest and have until 7PM on Saturday to complete as many tasks as possible. The manifest's checklist will include visiting locations, gathering items, and specific tasks to complete. Some tasks will, of course, involve carrying cargo. You do not necessarily NEED a lot of cargo space, but you should expect to either carry a lot of stuff or ride a lot of miles, or a mixture of both. Previous 1st place winners of The Hunt have completed the event on both brakeless fixed gear and also full size e-cargo bikes. Open to any and all types of bikes and skill levels, but winning The Hunt is reserved only for those most worthy and steadfast Olympians. Collaboration between racers is allowed, but this is an individual event so all racers must complete their own manifest and carry their own cargo. WHAT CAN I RIDE? The Scavenger Hunt is intended to be "doable" (with the right attitude) on a wide variety of self-propelled wheeled devices. Race against other people with the same kind of rig as you. Choose from the following categories at registration: - Rack & Bag (for “normal” bikes) - Compact Cargo (midtails, cycle trucks, small trailers), - Full Size (large cargos, long johns, big trailers), - Adaptive (hand cycle, recumbent, quad-cycle, etc), - Open (skates, longboard, shopping cart, any other weird wheels). (eBikes with a regulated speed cap of up to 28mph are welcome but will incur a points deduction) WHAT SHOULD I BRING?? Bring your race rig, a lock, a means to carry or secure your cargo, a flat tire repair kit, a phone capable of taking photos and/or recording a ride track, a good attitude and a thirst for glory. As with previous years, there is NO FIRST AID OR MECHANICAL SUPPORT, meaning you are expected to be self-sufficient for the entirety of the 24 hour race. (Plz don't sue me, I have nothing <3) C.S.O. V continues all weekend-long with a Friday Night Ride Takeover (Ladds Circle at 8pm), and Sunday's events which include CARGO POLO and a CARGO CIRCUIT RACE!! Follow @csopdx on IG for more info!!

Friday night ride is a social ride for people who enjoy a sporty pace and adventurous routes. Every ride is different but generally range between 15 and 25 miles and you can expect some climbing and higher speeds than your average pedalpalooza ride. NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE. Riders should be self sufficient and have a plan for getting themselves home. This is a bicycle-forward group ride. Pedal-assist ebikes are ok (class 1 & 2). Throttle heavy, high speed battery powered motor bikes are not (class 3 & 4). If you're not pedaling it’s not a bicycle and you will asked to leave. Bring lights/locks/responsible vibes/a cup/ Casual pace with some extra zip 10-20ish mile rides with store stops/park stops/art stops NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Be careful of slippery roads/leafs on ground/pot holes. Call out road hazards to help bike friends stay safe. 2nd Fridays are MMR - later night vibes to make it to Midnight Mystery Ride. If you want to lead a ride just ask! REPEAT… NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Guest ride leaders wanted and appreciated! Instagram @fridaynightride

A chance to ride to the tones of the Incredible Dolly Parton. Route will be easy and flowing. Beginner friendly with a slow roll and we’ll do our best to be a no drop ride. Although this isn’t a request ride we understand the importance of Dolly’s music and if there’s something you need to hear just ask. We will have a store stop for safe clean bathroom access and the ride will be an almost loop. As with all our rides we practice consent and non-violence.

**Registering a team? SIGN UP HERE: https://smvmt.us/modateam** **Want email updates? RSVP HERE: https://smvmt.us/modasignup** In December, Portland City Council plans to reach an agreement with new billionaire-Blazers owner Tom Dundon in order to renovate the Moda Center. The expected deal will cost Portland and Oregon taxpayers over $800 million over 20 years with no private money coming from Dundon. Because billionaire Dundon is threatening to move the Portland Trail Blazers out of our city, politicians are moving quickly to give away hundreds of millions of dollars with nothing in return. But the Blazers are our team, and we also deserve a city with functioning schools, parks, and roads. As Trail Blazers fans and taxpayers, we deserve a fair deal that keeps the Blazers in Portland and doesn't bankrupt our city. On Saturday, September 26th, we're hosting the Moda Center 500: a bike relay and parade celebrating the team we love and calling out billionaire extortionists. We're bringing together Blazers fans, students, teachers, union leaders, and city council candidates together to demand Tom Dundon pay his fair share of the Moda Center renovation, and declare our public subsidies require public returns not blank checks. If Portland City Council cannot make a fair deal for Portlanders by December, they must delay their agreement until we have a proposal that doesn't shutter schools nor close parks, but actually lets our city thrive. Join us at the Moda Center on Saturday, September 26th at noon for speeches from community organizations, unions, and city council candidates. The bike race/relay/parade will begin at 1pm.

It's a full moon! Let's ride naked. Except, let's do it in daylight! September is still nice weather, but it can be cold at night! So we'll enjoy the warm orb of the sun, and provide our own moons to dress up Portland' streets. This is a "bare as you dare" ride. Clothing welcome, nudity welcome. A quiet protest against oil wars, fossil fuel dependence, and car dominance. We'll roll from Coe Circle, and loop back about 2 hours later. We'll visit all five quadrants of the city, shout pro-bicycle slogans, and possibly visit ODOT's Portland Headquarters for a short, symbolic protest against freeway widening. Let's enjoy and make use of the civil liberties we have had to peaceably assemble to seek redress of grievances. Enshrined in the 1793 US Bill of Rights, and many place before and since. (Past Tire and crew have been leading small naked rides for 17 years. We periodically vary the date and theme -- this is our first "full moon daytime ride!")

A monthly social bicycle pilgrimage through the glowing corners of the city. We’ll ride together between gathering places, hidden patios, strange landmarks, and friendly neighborhood spots while chasing the mysterious forces that connect us all.

Routes are usually 10-20 miles total with stops to hang, hydrate, and soak in the vibes. New riders always welcome. Costumes, bike decorations, bells, and mildly cult-like enthusiasm encourages. Starting point: The BeerMongers 2415 SE 11th Ave, Portland OR 97214

Do you have what it takes to go fast in circles? While carrying things?! Whilst competing against some of the most decorated cargo bike racers in the world?!?!! Come find out by riding BIG bikes in circles really FAST!! HOW'S THE RACE WORK? Racers will complete 4 laps on a short closed-course loop. Near the start/finish line there are identical sets cargo: something big, something heavy, and something awkward. Racers ride 1 lap empty, stop to load all the cargo onto their bike, then continue riding 3 laps with their cargo. First one across the finish line with all their cargo wins. HOW DO I ENTER? Arrive at 4pm and register. Bring yourself, a competitive spirit, and a cargo bike capable of hauling a moderate load. If you don't have a cargo bike and want to race, come anyway and we'll try and find you a loaner. If you do have a cargo bike that you'd let others ride, you'd be a real MVP for that ;) The race is free, but donations are welcome.

Welcome to Mellow Mondays 2026. Are you interested in leading a ride? This is a supportive and organized way to lead for the first time. Every week there’s different themes but there are constants…. Slow pace, about 8 mph, Distance varies but approx 10 miles, Family friendly, We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides, Store stop for safe clean bathroom access but generally we try and make these stops short, Skater friendly (but please check with ride leader about crunchy or potential issues for skates), ALL Wheels friendly (scooter, skates, skateboard, e bikes etc), Ride is always a loop, Corking and traffic intersections are calm. Be mindful of smoking around others and do not smoke around children. FAQ, Can I bring a speaker? Yes but please speak to the ride leader and play the music they’ve carefully selected or what their preference is. Can I lead a ride? Yes, please attend a few first and get a feel for how the rides are. I’ve heard NakedHearts supports other rides? Yes, we can help with planning, encouragement, promotion, sound support and what not. What do you mean you practice consent? We ask everyone (even friends, relatives, husbands and wives with each other) to ask for permission before touching anyone else or their belongings and when asking to seek listen and empower ‘No’. What do you mean you practice Non-violence? We specifically expect everyone to be calm, kind and respectful with all car interactions. One riders aggression to a car driver can put everyone else at risk. We live in a small city and are bound to encounter the same drivers again. Are all your rides a protest? Yes, being together with respect and acceptance and finding comfort and joy around others and strangers is an act of protest against the divisive paradigm we are in.

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, rolling out from Salmon Street Springs every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic, party-paced social ride with warmth and weirdness from our welcoming “rolling dive bar” regulars. Most rides feature regularly spaced park and store stops, generally leading to a lively end spot around 11 PM. Come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. Strong Thursday traditions, stronger shared expectations. While you might see some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct. If you’ve been asked not to attend *any* Shift rides, you are not welcome at TNR—that’s not up for debate on our ride. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. TNR works best when everyone helps set the tone and shares responsibility. Look out for each other, welcome new riders and help them find the next stop, leave it better than you found it, give people space when they need it, and help keep the ride moving forward together by practicing Consent, Accountability, Respect, and De-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements after 7:30, leave after “Beer Minutes.” 🕢 If you’re not at the fountain by 7:30, you may want to meet us at the next stop. 🧭 Ride Tracker: https://thursdaynightride.com/tracker https://ridewithgps.com/users/1303039/live_log

Thursday Night Ride

⛲️ If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to get involved, come early and ask for the ride leader—we’ll see you at the fountain!

Thursday nights. Hard start at 8:05 PM. It's almost the weekend, so let's ride bikes. We roll from and return to Columbia Park (meet in front of the pool) for an hour-ish ramble through North Portland and beyond. No agenda beyond riding bikes with good people. Expect roughly 10 miles at a conversation-friendly pace (~10 mph). We usually have a brief rest stop along the way for snacks, stretching, high fives, admiring a weird tree, taking in a panoramic view, or whatever else seems important at the time. This is a no-drop ride. Basket bikes, ATBs, all-road bikes, cruisers, "gravel" bikes, fancy bikes, old bikes, rusty bikes, whatever. If your bike can comfortably cruise at ~10 mph for an hour, it’ll be fine. Bring:
-Front and rear lights (required)
-Snacks if you'd like
-water or optional beverage, maximum vibes (no store stop). And, an extra bike tube wouldn't hurt! Remember, wherever we end up along the way, we always practice Leave No Trace! Meet: 7:45 PM
. Roll: 8:05 PM sharp
. Start & Finish: Columbia Park, in front of the pool. Come meet your neighbors and see what North Portland looks like after dark. Last Thursday Pre-Ride Social: 9/24 (Funhouse Brews: 7717 N Emerald Ave), 10/29 (TBD). Check back for pre-game location(s). https://www.iqair.com/air-quality/usa/oregon/portland https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

RSVP for the ride at bit.ly/menopunkthevote MENOPUNK THE VOTE kicks off Menopause Awareness Month with a Menopunks-powered protest ride! MENOPUNKS is opening a month of advocacy the way it opened the summer: on two wheels, loud, and headed somewhere that matters. On October 2 at 6 PM, MENOPUNKS launches MENOPUNK THE VOTE with a community bike ride through Portland, kicking off Menopause Awareness Month with Riot Grrl punk rock blasting from the sound system for the entire route. Riders will have the chance to register to vote along the way, with a dedicated stop at a mailbox to drop new registrations before the deadline. The timing is deliberate. The International Menopause Society set this year's World Menopause Day theme as Chronic Pain at Midlife, a topic deeply close to the MENOPUNKS heart: two decades of women were told their symptoms were in their heads, or not worth treating, because of a hormone replacement therapy study whose own investigators now say the results were manipulated. In November 2025, the FDA admitted as much, walking back 24 years of black box warnings. "Chronic pain at midlife isn't a mystery, it's a policy choice," said Alicia J. Rose, director and creator of MENOPUNKS. "We got denied care for twenty years. We're not asking politely for it back. We're riding through this city and registering every single person we can to go vote like it matters, because it does." MENOPUNK the VOTE kicks off a full month of advocacy for MENOPUNKS, first launched at Menopunkapalooza this summer, and is the only stop this fall built around new voter registration. RSVP for the ride at bit.ly/menopunkthevote Website: menopunks.com MENOPUNKS is a documentary-in-progress and podcast created by Alicia J. Rose that explores peri/menopause, creativity, and healthcare through the stories of iconic musicians, artists, physicians, and advocates. Combining punk rock energy with midlife healthcare activism, MENOPUNKS is building a movement dedicated to informed care, hormonal justice, and changing the narrative around midlife healthcare for all.

Friday night ride is a social ride for people who enjoy a sporty pace and adventurous routes. Every ride is different but generally range between 15 and 25 miles and you can expect some climbing and higher speeds than your average pedalpalooza ride. NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE. Riders should be self sufficient and have a plan for getting themselves home. This is a bicycle-forward group ride. Pedal-assist ebikes are ok (class 1 & 2). Throttle heavy, high speed battery powered motor bikes are not (class 3 & 4). If you're not pedaling it’s not a bicycle and you will asked to leave. Bring lights/locks/responsible vibes/a cup/ Casual pace with some extra zip 10-20ish mile rides with store stops/park stops/art stops NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Be careful of slippery roads/leafs on ground/pot holes. Call out road hazards to help bike friends stay safe. 2nd Fridays are MMR - later night vibes to make it to Midnight Mystery Ride. If you want to lead a ride just ask! REPEAT… NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Guest ride leaders wanted and appreciated! Instagram @fridaynightride

Do you love devils food or a yeast raised with sprinkles? Maybe a Mexican mocha or Boston cream? Why live in a land of OR, when you can live in a land of AND.
