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.

Friend visiting from Wisconsin. "Why was there a huge group of cyclists with lighted bikes riding by downtown? Me, OH, because it's Thursday! Thank you TNR for keeping on keeping on. #pdxbikes

Breakfast on the Bridges A tasty monthly PDX tradition! Last Friday of EVERY month 7 to 9AM for the past 20 years Blumenauer, Flanders, Steel, and Tilikum Bridges @bonbpdx.bsky.social @shift2bikes.bsky.social History: www.npr.org/2025/05/02/n... Practical info: www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/eve...

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!

Different strokes — For some folks, the highlight of their past Portland weekend on bikes was pedaling with 10,000 other people on the World Naked Bike Ride. For others, it was the chance to do side-by-side tests of all three of BikeLoud’s bike lane sweepers. Your choice?
