1:30 AM
End location: Sunee Thai and Lao Kitchen (1400 SE Stark St, 97214)
On hot days, the nights are wonderfully warm. There are few nights like this, with ideal bike-riding weather. I love night-time bike rides, as there are less cars, and the city is beautifully lit. We'll meet at 10pm at the Vera Catz statue at the East Bank Esplanade. The Vera Catz statue is just north of the Hawthorne Bridge, and just south of the intersection of SE Salmon St & East Bank Esplanade. We start riding at 10:30 pm. We'll ride up and down SW Downtown, starting at 1st Ave, and increasing the Avenue number. Each street is beautiful and different, with great views. If we finish those streets, we'll ride up and down NW. We'll stop at Insomnia Cookies (has vegan options). We'll have a second 15 minute social stop elsewhere. When we're done riding around midnight or 12:30am, we'll head to Sunee Thai and Lao Kitchen (SE 14th & Stark, 1400 SE Stark St, 97214). It's open until 4am and vegan-friendly. Riders are welcome to share a meal there. This will be a slow ride, paced for people learning to bicycle, enjoying scenery, and socializing. No one will be left behind. We’ll stay together as a group for safety.
