Is anyone doing a Christmas Day bike ride? I don’t have Christmas plans and was considering planning a bike ride that ends with some sort of food (unless there’s one happening already). I know I’m probably not the only stray looking for something to do so who wants to ride and eat?

No. ☔

It amuses me that people say they can't bike because of weather but there are always more drivers on sunny days. #umbrellabike #leavethecarathome #cargobikes #climateaction #ebikes
Cargo bike loaded with groceries under an awning in the rain, poncho on the handlebars and rain cover still open. No other customers in the pickup area. No mountain.

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

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.

Use the code BIKETOVOTE25 for free unlocks!

Use VOTE2025 for two 30-minute rides on Lime e-scooters.

Both are valid now through election day.

Don't forget your helmet, especially when riding e-scooters. It's state law to wear a helmet when riding an e-scooter!

People on the Steel Bridge next to their bikes in costume-- shark, sheep, gorilla. The gorilla is holding bananas. Breakfast on the Bridges sign on the Blumenauer Bridge with bikes and people drinking coffee. (The people are drinking coffee, bikes prefer juice.) Lillian, one of the driving forces of Breakfast on the Bridges in a fancy costume, or maybe she's just dressed for work. Tillicum Bridge with light rail car in the background.
