Any day of the week is a good day for bike fun! Many groups have regularly-scheduled rides that happen on a specific day of the week. Some of these happen every week, or every other; all of the ones listed here happen at least once a month.
This is just a sample — there are also plenty of one-off or less-frequent rides beyond these. Check the calendar for the latest. If you host a regularly-scheduled ride and would like to see it listed here, please contact us.
Monday
Mellow Mondays
- Every Monday
- Starting location: Irving Park
Casual ride series on Mondays to chill with friends and welcome new people to the community. Gift sharing is optional; small gifts such as snacks or stickers are a way to come together and get to know each other. Organized by Moorland Moss, with guest ride leaders on the regular.

Bike Happy Hour
- Every Wednesday
- Starting location: Gorges Beer Co., SE Ankeny St between 27th & 28th Ave (aka Ankeny Rainbow Road)
Not a ride itself, but a great place to hang out with other bike-y folks. Come by 3pm to 6pm (-ish) and enjoy community, food, and drinks. The only rules are to be nice and to keep your socializing circles open to new people! Name tags are encouraged as well; see Jonathan Maus or another Happy Hour Ambassador if you need one. Rides sometimes use this happy hour as a starting location, so check the calendar each Wednesday for related bike fun!

Thursday
Ride Safe PDX
- Every Thursday
- Starting location: Colonel Summers Park
A weekly ride led by Ride Safe PDX, a group aiming to make Portland rides safer from harassment. Theme, route, and playlist will change weekly, but every ride will have a store stop, safe people to help with any issues, and clear expectations of consent and respect. Every Thursday ride will be a loop (ends where it started). Free Biketown codes available; contact the leaders for details.

Friday night ride that cruises around town to different spots. May link up with other rides, especially during the summer; 2nd Fridays meet up with Midnight Mystery Ride. Every first Friday is bottle share night (any type of drink), and the occasional fifth Friday is Bike Club Vest’s ride.
Midnight Mystery Ride (MMR)
- 2nd Friday every month
