Weekend Event Guide: Unity Ride, Queers and Beers, Bubble Ride, and more!

Safer biking spaces require commitment from everyone. (Photo: Jonathan Maus/BikePortland)

Hi everybody!

Those who check this guide often will notice that I’ve been fascinated with how rides with common topics often happen in the same weekend. That’s the case this weekend with the WTFNB Unity Ride, the WeBike Ride and the Queers and Beers ride, happening on successive days. For folks who identify with the Rainbow Flag and want a safer space to bike out into, get these rides on your calendar!

Friday Night Ride: Frisbee and kickball – 7:00 pm at Ladd Circle (SE)
“We will ride to the midnight mystery ride…. We will stop at a few parks and play some frisbee and glow in the dark kickball/other fun games. Bring a light-up frisbee if you have one!” More info here.

WTFNB Unity Ride 7:00 pm at Irving Park (NE)
“This is a faster-paced (10-15mph) no-drop ride. All bikes welcome. Unity Ride is intended for women; femme, trans, and non-binary folks; and anyone who’s questioning their gender identity.” More info here.
