Group rides build your community + they're fun!
PDX has an cornucopia of group bike rides, even in dark, wet November.
Wet seems to be a theme: Waterworks, rain capes, river loops
And the World Day of Remembrance
Find details about these rides and more on the @shift2bikes.bsky.social calendar
This video really represents what Portland OR is like, with a group of random cyclists on cargo bike restocking free food pantries across the northern part of the city. If we have any war here is about who can be nicer and more compassionate toward people in need.

Evening group ride with a bright green bike trailer centered in a group of bike rides. The sign to the right points to PDX Lloyd Center.
In Portland, the act of riding a bike is an excellent way of being outside, observing life, and being completely present in public space.
Riding with other people builds friendships + builds communities of trust.
Be well. Be strong. Bike with a buddy Portland! 🚲❤️
@bikeloudpdx.bsky.social @shift2bikes.bsky.social Might be a good weekend for an out of season Pedalpalooza ride along the kick-off route? Nothing says "war-torn" like folks on bikes having fun.

The @shift2bikes.bsky.social calendar is one of my favorite things about Portland. It’s evidence of hundreds of people who have an interest or idea they want to share in the name of fun. Do you like ABBA? Tacos? Murals? Learning about local stormwater drainage infrastructure? THERE’S A RIDE FOR YOU!

🗣 SW Tichner Drive is officially open!
After months of work, SW Tichner Drive has reopened to all vehicle traffic as of 1 p.m. today, Aug. 20. Crews from PBOT's maintenance division trimmed back vegetation, swept the street and restriped lane lines to prepare for the reopening.
I’d like to thank whoever @shift2bikes.bsky.social who organized this ride. It was my band, Shorty and the Mustangs, playing at the Showdown, and y’all made it extra fun. www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/eve...

Text from Shift2Bikes calendar listing: 5:30 PM COVID Safety plan SW Unfinished Bikeways Westside Multnomah Arts Center, 7688 SW Capitol Hwy northwest corner of the building Eric Wilhelm Wed, Aug 20, 2025, 5:30 PM ride at 5:45 8:00 PM Ride is a loop End location: beer if anything is open after 8 As children watch patiently out the window for the chance to ride a bike to school or the park, and the state transportation funding plan struggles to join the 21st century, PBOT continues building streets for cars, sometimes with a block or two of bike lane for a treat. Bikeway designs from 20 years ago are being cast in concrete as the anticlimax of 30 years of advocacy, to the tune of $26M/mile... and about one mile per decade. We'll look at the terrain between Multnomah, Burlingame, Hillsdale, and a few other neighborhoods, why Barbur Blvd is such a state-highway-dept-neglected disaster, some recently-completed obsolete bike infrastructure, and the secret trails and side streets we use to sneak through the gaps between the car sewers. This casual group ride will be an easy pace with several stops to discuss and observe the transportation infrastructure and missing links of southwest bikeways along the SW corridor. BikeLoudPDX
