Please come join me at my fundraiser at Pizzeria Otto! My name is Nichole and hopefully you have met me on some Mellow Mondays or other bike rides the last few years. I run a team for Street Dog Coalition; we provide free veterinary care to the unhoused and at risk community. We provide preventative medicine and provide space and neuters! I will be riding my bike from ladds, and I would love for you to join me! Otherwise, if you just wanna go eat some pizza on your own time, you can stop by anytime that day to the Foster location and a portion of proceeds will be going to our Portland team. No need to join the ride: if you want to go eat proceeds go to us the entire day they are open. You can also order to go or even get a gift card and that still helps support us. The money we raise directly goes back into our community and helping animals in need. They have a happy hour from 11 to 5, and then again after 8!! If you’re a banned rider anywhere else, you’re banned here! We will be following the shift code of conduct. This ride is not a loop :)

ABOB invites you to an October Spooky ride: Fall color tree-lined streets, special spooky destinations, Halloween themed playlist, store stop at People's Food Co-op. Costumes encouraged! 6-10 mph pace. All bodies are good bodies and all bikes are good bikes! Join us for a ride every second Wednesday!

The darkness is here! Lights and helmets and layers oh my! Still rolling and still adventurous. This is the time of year when the weather thins the riders out and the group gets closer together. The "core" group is usually established during the winter months drag on because come spring everyone is already fit and acclimated to the weather! So bring on the weather and the fun! We will update you when the ride day gets closer.

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

If there are rough spots we'll periodically regroup. Rivendells welcome! Other 26" Mountain Bikes welcome! And everyone is welcome, come out and have a good time on whatever bike you please!

Are you an Ex-Mormon? Or a Jack Mormon? Or a Mormon? Lived in Utah? Mormon relatives? Ex-something-else? Or anything/anybody else? Or you just want a chill group of people to roll around town with on an autumn Sunday? Let's get together and ride bicycles! We'll ride about 2 hours with stops for soda and ice cream. And beer, if so desired. We'll talk about what it meant to be a Mormon. What it means to be an ex-Mormon. What there are so many ex-Mormons around? And what makes us/them interesting people? And talk about our experiences with the Mormon* church. In it, out of it, or anything else. What did we all think about the prohibition on beer, coffee and department store underwear? What was your "exit story?" For those curious about the Mormon faith, you are welcome! We'll probably give you an earful! Come and have a good time! * The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Calling all Brentwood Darlings! Your Bike Bus volunteers are putting on a little ride this Sunday. Meet at the Lane Middle School (now called Brentwood Middle School) bike racks (on SE 60th and Ogden) at 2pm. We'll roll out at 2:15pm. We'll ride 6 miles visiting some highlights of our neighborhood, including two playground stops, two nature stops and a secret waterfall (!) Families, children, adults, pets, people on regular bikes, people on e-bikes - all are welcome. We'll be riding at a nice easy pace to keep the group together. Bring your snacks and drinks, along with a spare tube (even if you don't know how to fix a flat). See ya Sunday!

Ride to the Winter Crow roost. Very family friendly ride. We also visit some of the WildWood Crows before heading to the waterfront. This is a magical event and phenomenon that happens every winter. Each year, massive flocks of Crows head downtown to the warmth and safety. The numbers are outrageous and are estimated to be 40-70,000 birds. On the ride itself, we try and follow the path of some flocks of Crows as they head to the waterfront. We then wait to watch insanely large flocks arrive one after the other…then wait for them all to suddenly go quiet and sleep. We often see Juvenile birds doing stunts in silhouette with the moon and clouds aglow with orange. Music will be vintage French Pop Music… Costumes encouraged…. Store stop may or may not happen because timing of this ride is crucial and fluid. This is the 6th year of these rides. We usually do at least 2 per year. Sometimes we get to the waterfront little early and have to scout out where they’re gathering and change position….so please dress warmly. Do you want to share Crow facts? You can at the waterfront or recount your experiences. As with all our rides we practice consent and non-violence. If you’re banned from posting rides and have been asked not too attend other rides please don’t attend these either.

*This is a continuation of Tanasbourne Happy Hour; we will be trying Xplore Food Carts by NW Cornell and Bethany for the Fall* Everyone loves Bike Happy Hours! That's why I've been bringing another one to Northern Washington County from 1630-1900! Happy Hour is NOT a ride in itself, but there will be a ride immediately after, at 1900! A good way to meet new cycling friends in the Westside and beyond, or keep in touch with old friends! Everyone is welcome to join along, maybe grab a drink, eat some good food, or just show your presence. The post-Happy Hour ride will be a casual paced 10-20 mile ride around Northern Washington County

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.
