Westside Wednesdays Portland
Explore Beaverton and Portland's westside neighborhoods by bike every other Wednesday — MAX light rail accessible, no car needed to join the adventure.
The vibe
Suburban adventure on two wheels
Portland’s bike culture doesn’t stop at the city limits. Westside Wednesdays ventures into Beaverton and the surrounding westside neighborhoods that most east-siders rarely explore by bike — quieter streets, different terrain, and a different side of the metro area. The ride is MAX accessible, so you can hop on light rail with your bike and meet the group without driving.
It runs every other Wednesday with occasional pop-up additions, typically starting at the Beaverton Transit Center. The format is casual exploration rather than training — the point is to see places you wouldn’t find on your own, not to hit a target pace or distance.
Check the Shift2Bikes calendar for the current schedule, starting point, and any event-specific notes. Shift events are free and open to all cyclists, though the westside geography will naturally filter toward those who enjoy exploring beyond the familiar SE Portland routes.
