With sunny weather and two major events on tap, this weekend is going to be big.
The 20th annual Reach the Beach ride is Saturday, which is followed by Sunday Parkways Northeast.
Besides those two headliners, there are a lot of other events going on. Check out the Shift calendar and ORBike for more ideas. But who says you need an official ride to have fun on your bike this weekend?! This gorgeous weather is all the motivation needed to create your own fun just by rolling around and exploring your neighborhood on two wheels.

In a bid to save money, the Portland Police Bureau hopes to replace some of its sworn officers with volunteer bike riders in this year’s Grand Floral Parade.
Lieutenant John Brooks with the PPB’s East Precinct is in charge of the parade. He says they usually use about 266 officers to work the route, but this year he wants to cut that number to 80. To fill that gap and bolster efforts of bike cops, he hopes to find about 40 bike riding volunteers to step forward and help.
It took less than a month for the community to raise $5,000 to fully sign and stripe a new bike route through River View Cemetery.
The route through the privately-owned cemetery is a popular shortcut through Portland’s southwest hills. Public access is allowed, but that access has been threatened by inconsiderate riding and safety concerns by the land owners.
