Bikes Mean Business Ride
One-time Portland advocacy ride supporting NE Broadway businesses — a 3-8 mile October rally showing how everyday biking helps local commerce keep thriving.
The vibe
Advocacy ride for local business
Bike advocacy in Portland doesn’t always look like a protest — sometimes it looks like a group ride to go spend money at local shops. Bikes Mean Business is exactly that: a demonstration ride making the case that cyclists are customers too, ending up along NE Broadway to support the businesses there.
The route is short, 3-8 miles, so this isn’t about mileage — it’s about showing up with a group and putting cycling’s economic footprint on display. Riders meet at Terry Schrunk Plaza at 4:15 PM with wheels down at 4:30.
If you’ve ever wanted a low-key way to combine an evening ride with actually supporting the businesses that support cyclists, this is the one-time event built for exactly that.
