About
Roll out roughly 4:30 PM
Join us for a ride to ground yourself back to mother earth and connect with the shared air we breathe.
Along the way, we’ll take part in a short "Wind Salutation"—a unique four-directions ceremony designed to center the group. It will be a small, low-pressure element of the ride, but likely a bit different than any you’ve experienced before. (Pro-tip: Leave the compass at home!)
The Route & Stops:
We will pause at three distinct locations along the route. One of our stops will be high above the river on the Tilikum Crossing—taking advantage of its zero-automobile traffic and open air space—while the other two stops will remain a secret until we roll up.
Ride Vibe & Etiquette:
Acoustic Focus: Please do not troll the ride with electric motorcycles or blast high-decibel EDM. Standard e-bikes are completely welcome.
Music & Sound: Bluetooth speakers are fine during the ride (bonus points for underground flute jazz or flute salsa!), but we ask everyone to turn all speakers completely off during the Wind Salutation so we can align with our breath and instruments.
Everyone Welcome: Kid-friendly, family-friendly, and 21+ friendly. Just come ready to respect the space, the air, and your fellow riders.
