Just a quick reminder: it’s important to pace yourself with all these events! At last night’s Donut Ride I talked to two hardcore event-goers that were already showing signs of Pedalpalooza fatigue.
Here is a list of today’s rides:
Are you having trouble keeping track of all the Pedalpalooza events? With 140 rides happening in just over two weeks, it can be tough staying on top of it all.
I thought it would be cool to have a tiny version of the calendar I could just keep in my wallet.
To create one, I used a nifty online tool called PocketMod. It’s a utility that converts PDF files into a format that allows you to make tiny little booklets.
This ride was led by Shawn Granton of the Urban Adventure League.
Bridge Pedal head honcho Rick Baumann just sent me these photos of the 2006 Bridge Pedal commemorative helmet.
Graphic designer Michael Morrow and his Portland-based company Nutcase Helmets, have created what is sure to be a popular item. I was lucky enough to grab one of last year’s helmets (thanks Ric!) and I’m looking forward to adding this one to my collection.

Start the morning with a coffee ride, sample Northeast’s finest pad-thai for lunch, and then kick away the pounds with the Zoobomb crew…and gain everything back on the donut ride, led by none other than Captain Pastry!
Here’s a list of today’s events:

In honor of Pedalpalooza, this year’s Portland Underground Film Festival included a night of bike films organized by none other than Reverend Phil.
Yes folks, there were two separate naked rides in the streets of Portland on Saturday (check out this report on the other one).
According to Midnight Mystery Ride (MMR) founder Ayleen Crotty, last Friday’s ride was the largest ever. 135 people showed up and took over the streets of North Portland.

Last night, hundreds of free-spirited pedalers (including me!) crammed into an old industrial building on the Burnside Bridge for an epic party. It was the Pedalpalooza Kick-off Dance Party and World Naked Bike Ride all rolled into one.
Even the infamous martini bike lane guy showed up.
