Friday Night Ride Portland

Portland on a Friday night, by bike, with no particular agenda — this is the Friday Night Ride. The group assembles at Ladd Circle and rolls through the city visiting different spots each week. The route isn’t fixed, which keeps it interesting for regulars and gives first-timers a genuine sense of exploration.

First Fridays of the month bring a bottle-share somewhere along the route, making the social element explicit. Second Fridays connect with the Midnight Mystery Ride for those who want to extend the evening further into Portland’s night. The rest of the Fridays are their own thing — a cruise, some conversation, and the particular Portland experience of being on a bike when most people are in a car.

Starting from Ladd Circle in Southeast Portland. Free, all bikes welcome, all paces accommodated. Check the Shift2Bikes weekly rides page for timing details.
