The BikePortland Event Listings Service
With so many bike events happening in the region, it's hard for us to keep up. That's why we now offer a guaranteed way for promoters to spread the word. For just $20, you can list your event on BikePortland.org.
List your event here!
We'll post it on our Events Page, feature it in Wednesday's front page Weekend Event Guide, share it on our Twitter feed (which was recently named Best Cycling Twitter Feed by Treehugger.com), list it on our sidebar, and do everything we can to share it with our thousands of daily followers.
BikePortland has a huge reach -- now you can put it to work for your event!
Our Signature Events
As much as we love the web, there's just no substitute for face-to-face interaction and discussion.
Scroll down for an introduction to the different types of events we've created and brought to the community over the years.
Get Togethers and Socials

Get Togethers move each month to a different area of Portland. Our goal is to reach out to people who live, work, play, or ride through different neighborhoods to discuss local bicycling issues and infrastructure and to bring people together offline. We are proud to report that the 2011 Get Together series is sponsored by SKS. Watch our Event Listings page for upcoming Get Togethers the last Wednesday of each month.
We also occasionally have social events. These range from loosely organized happy hours to town halls around a certain theme (in December, we discussed the state of bicycle advocacy in Portland). We love to get out and talk offline, and are always open to proposals about themes, times, and locations for social events.
An Evening With... - Our live, on-stage interview series
in November 2009.
Live, on-stage interviews between Jonathan Maus and inspiring figures in the bicycling world. The first event was an interview with Russ Roca, who is bicycling around the world while working as a photographer. The second event was a talk with PBOT bike guru Roger Geller about the city's Bicycle Plan for 2030. Then we brought you an Evening with Ginny Sullivan. This webcast interview discussed Adventure Cycling Association's ambitious and exciting United States Bicycle Route System.
Stay tuned for more interesting and engaging live conversations with bike luminaries from around the country.
BikeCraft
Since it first arrived in 2005, BikeCraft, has become a much-anticipated annual event. It's a holiday gift bazaar of bicycle-oriented, handmade art and crafts from Portland's talented local artisans. View photos from past events here.
Bike to Blazers
For years we have worked with the Portland Trailblazers and other community partners to host this awesome event. Check out the official Bike to Blazers event page for more info. Here's a slideshow from the 2010 Bike To Blazers:
