Terms of use

Version 3, last updated November 3, 2026

Agreement to these terms

Biiikes is operated by Biiikes LLC, a Washington limited liability company. These terms are an agreement between you and Biiikes LLC. By using Biiikes you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use Biiikes.

Rides listed on Biiikes

Biiikes is a calendar. Rides listed here are copied from Shift, Portland's volunteer ride calendar. They are organized by the people who lead them, not by Biiikes LLC.

Biiikes LLC does not organize, lead, inspect, supervise or control any ride listed on the service, and does not screen the people who lead or attend them.

You take part in rides at your own risk, and you accept the risks of cycling. Those risks include falling, collision with vehicles, people or objects, road and weather conditions, mechanical failure, and the conduct of other riders and of other people on the road. They include serious injury and death.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Biiikes LLC from claims arising out of any ride you learned of through the service, including claims concerning the conduct of a ride leader or another rider, or the accuracy of a listing.

This release does not apply to gross negligence or willful misconduct by Biiikes LLC, and does not waive any right that cannot be waived by agreement.

Who may use Biiikes

You must be 18 or older to have an account. Anyone can see every ride on the calendar without one.

The Hub is where riders post photos and clips from rides, comment on them and repost them. You need an account to do any of these.

One account per person. Keep your account details accurate. You are responsible for activity under your account.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you add to Biiikes, including your profile, your posts (photos, clips and words), your comments, what you make with the tools for editing a post, and routes and collections you share. You grant Biiikes LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce and display it for the purpose of operating the service, including on the calendar, the Hub, profiles and ride pages, in link previews, and in copies you choose to share outside Biiikes. The license ends when you delete the content, except for copies kept for a report or as the law requires, and copies you have already shared outside Biiikes.

Add or post only what you have the right to, including photos and clips. What may be posted is set out in the community rules, which are part of how we apply these terms. A cut-out sticker may be made only of yourself, your bike or a thing, not of another person. We may remove content that breaches these terms or the rights of another person.

Who sees what you post

You choose the audience for each post, from Only me up to Everyone. A post shared with Everyone can be seen by anyone, including people who are not signed in, and an account holder 18 or older may repost it to their followers, with your post shown whole and credited to you, unless you turn reposts off for that post. You choose who may comment on each post. You may delete your post, and any comment on it. Deleting a post, or narrowing its audience below Everyone, removes its reposts.

Sharing outside Biiikes

When you share a post, a share picture or a ride replay (a short video of a ride you recorded) to another app, the shared copy carries biiikes.com, and the app that receives it applies its own terms and policy. We cannot delete a copy once it has been shared outside Biiikes.

Editing tools and AI-made art

On phones that support it, your phone can write a caption or description suggestion, and only when you ask for one. You may edit a suggestion, and you are responsible for what you post, including a suggestion you accept. Some stickers, and the art on spoke cards (a collectible card for each ride date), were made with AI; the place where you pick stickers and the spoke cards say so.

Acceptable use

We may remove content, or restrict, suspend or close an account, for:

• Harassing, threatening or abusing any person.
• Impersonating another person.
• Any unlawful activity.
• Posting or commenting anything the community rules do not allow.
• Posting a photo or clip you did not take and do not have permission to share, or making a cut-out sticker of another person.

Reports, takedowns and another look

You may report a post, a comment, a rider, a ride or a collection, and you may block a rider. A person at Biiikes reviews each report. We may take content down, or restrict, suspend or close an account. If we take down your post or comment, you may ask once, within 30 days of the notice, for another look. It stays down until that is decided.

Routes and collections

If you connect Ride with GPS, we keep a copy of every route on that account in your Biiikes library and update it at each sync: an edit there updates the copy, and a deletion there removes it, except that a group ride already listed with that route keeps its own copy until the ride changes route. Disconnecting keeps the copies, which stop updating. You choose who sees each route and each collection. Anyone who has a collection's link may pass it on, but it shows only what your choices allow.

Text messages

Biiikes sends one kind of text message: a six-digit sign-in code, to confirm the number is yours. It is sent only when you sign in and ask for one.

Message and data rates may apply, depending on your plan and your carrier. Reply STOP to any message to stop all messages, START to resume them, or HELP for help. Stopping messages does not close your account, and you can still sign in using your email address.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Leaving and erasing

You may leave or erase your account. Leaving is reversible: you stop being findable and receive no messages, nothing is deleted, and you can return. Erasing is final: you are removed from the service immediately and your data is deleted seven days later, and you may cancel it during those seven days.

Erasing deletes your posts, comments, reposts and bookmarks. Three things survive erasure. Your username is retired rather than reissued, so that nobody else can take it. A finding upheld against you is retained. A photo in a post, or the words of a comment, that someone reported is kept with the report for the period stated in the privacy policy, even after erasure.

Disclaimers

Biiikes is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Biiikes LLC makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Biiikes LLC does not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that the information on it is accurate or current, or that any ride listed will take place. Listings are copied from Shift, Portland's volunteer ride calendar, and are not verified.

Some states do not permit the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this may not apply.

Limitation of liability

Biiikes LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or lost opportunities, arising out of your use of the service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

The total liability of Biiikes LLC for all claims arising out of these terms or your use of the service will not exceed one hundred United States dollars. Biiikes is free to use.

These limits do not apply to gross negligence or willful misconduct, or to any liability that cannot be limited under the law applicable to you. Some states do not permit certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Biiikes LLC and its officers, members and employees from claims, damages, losses and reasonable legal costs arising out of:

• Content you add or post, or a ride you led.
• Your use of the service, and your conduct in connection with it.
• Your breach of these terms or of the rights of another person.

We may assume the defense of any such claim, and you agree to cooperate. This does not apply where the claim results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Biiikes LLC.

Dispute resolution

Before starting a formal proceeding, send the dispute to [email protected] with enough detail for us to investigate. Both parties agree to attempt resolution this way for sixty days.

If the dispute is not resolved, it will be determined by binding individual arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You and Biiikes LLC each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class, collective or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person.

Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property.

You may opt out of arbitration by writing to [email protected] within thirty days of first accepting these terms, stating that you opt out and giving the email address on your account. Opting out has no other effect, and the rest of these terms continue to apply.

If the waiver above is held unenforceable, this dispute resolution section does not apply and disputes will be heard by the courts named below.

Governing law and where disputes are heard

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not subject to arbitration will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Washington, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Nothing in these terms removes a right you hold under the law where you live.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. The date at the top will be updated, and we will notify you of significant changes. Continuing to use Biiikes after a change means you accept it.
