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

Third year in a row that Mick is going to lead us to Grandma's Halloween House. This is a lot less smashing and a lot more wonder!

Once a year, the Ride with GPS team gets together in Portland for our annual Idea Week, and this year, we’re wrapping it up with a party. Swing by Kiln on Thursday, October 29, anytime between 5 and 7:30 PM. Grab a drink and snacks on us. Pick up a free Ride with GPS t-shirt, then head out to the parking lot and tie dye it however you want. Go subtle with bleach on a colored shirt, or go completely wild on a white one. We’ll bag it up so you can take it home. If you’re curious what we worked on during Idea Week, just ask. Plenty of us will be happy to pull up a laptop and show you. Come for 30 minutes or stay the whole time. Bring your riding crew, friends, or whoever’s up for a good time. It’s free, but please RSVP to save your spot.

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

Join Ride Westside for our first annual Cargo Bike Harvest Ride! We’ll tour some THPRD community garden sites by bike, collecting surplus produce to deliver to a local food bank. We’re working with the THPRD to alert gardeners and encourage them to make any extra produce available as they close up their gardens for the season. We'll welcome cargo bikes, bikes with trailers, or any old bike if you just want to ride with us. :) Cargo-bike curious? You can borrow a cargo bike from our friends at the Westside Transportation Alliance (WTA) for a test ride! It’s a great opportunity to ride with experienced cargo bikers to see if the cargo bike life is for you: https://form.jotform.com/251561323634048/prefill/6ad000e7343330d693fcd7ef18af (Clickable link below) We’ll start at the community garden at THPRD’s Howard M. Terpenning (HMT) Recreation Complex and aim to visit these sites along the way: Recuerdo Park Pío Pío Park Barsotti Park Mountain View Champions Park Welch Centennial Community Garden Evelyn M. Schiffler Memorial Park Eichler Bike Park Kennedy Garden This is our first year, so we’ll see how it goes, stay flexible, and learn as we ride. Come help turn the season’s extra harvest into something good for our neighbors!

The most fun naked ride we host. This ride needs people clothed so as we startle and surprise passers by it looks like the Zombies are chasing people. Costumes? Yes. Fake blood and oats makes great gore. Come as a Zombie apocalypse warrior survivor (no actual weapons)… Some people gradually turn into Zombies during the ride. Bandages and hospital smocks…. Theme: The World of the Dead zombie ride, embraces the vision of Zombie movie legend director George A Romero and is a stance against unbridled consumerism and group think. So ironically buy a bunch of fake blood and wander the roads in a Zombie horde yelling ‘Brains’ at passerby. We purposely Zombie Flash Mob and surprise large groups of people. It’s an amazingly liberating experience and transcends what zombies and horror and such and the gore and whilst looking your worst you are applauded and people wave hysterically happy to see us all…. This is my (Moorland) arguably favorite ride. The music is all from Zombie Movies and is intercut with the uncomfortable growls of the undead and movie dialogue…. As with all our rides, we practice consent and non-violence…. Please ask others for permission before eating any part of them.

*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.

Lisa: My partner in Sacramento, CA and I (now in Portland) had a community radio show for the year of 2024 in Davis, CA at KDVS 90.3 FM. We would play goth, industrial, soundtracks, scores, indie rock, and more. Kyle really liked playing music from mostly small shows (some medium) we would attend. We are planning to have some of the focus be on the dead or death or related topics to honor The Day of the Dead in our own way. If anyone has any requests to add to remember or honor their Loved Ones, we welcome those songs. Even if you don't think they fit with our music choices, we still welcome them. Moorland is helping us with our route. Thanks:)
