About the ride

Nomad’s monthly ride is evolving. What started as an e-bike ride is becoming an all-bikes-welcome community ride, starting from our new waterfront Adaptive BIKETOWN location. E-bikes are still very much welcome, but this ride is about accessible, joyful, low-pressure cycling for everybody: e-bikes, adaptive bikes, trikes, handcycles, cargo bikes, analog bikes, and anyone who wants to ride at a pace that allows for chatting with fellow cyclists and taking in the beauty of Portland. We ride at a social pace, we stay together, and nobody gets left behind. This isn’t a race, a training ride, or a contest of fitness. These rides are about building the kind of bike culture we want to see more of: welcoming, accessible, practical, joyful, and connected. Whether you ride every day or haven’t joined a group ride before, you are welcome here! All Wheels Welcome rides will be loops that start and end at the Adaptive Biketown Location just north of OMSI along the Eastbank Esplande path - look for the big red shed with Biketown parking in front. The ride will be a relaxed pace with minimal elevation but when we do encounter slight inclines, we will slow down enough to stay together as a group. We'll pass by interesting sights and maybe make a stop or two to take in the sights! This month we will be riding a route that is about 8 miles with minimal elevation and is mostly car free! We will take a break at a scenic spot so bring provisions if you like as there won't be a store stop (though there will be a bathroom stop!). Show more
