Interested in doing more on-the-bike adventures, but feeling limited by not having the right gear? OR, are you sitting on way too much gear that doesn’t really fit your needs? Well then, do we have the event for you!

Join us Monday, November 23 for a WeBike gear swap! Attendees are invited (but not required) to bring gently used gear to swap with fellow WeBikers. This can be whatever you think others might get use out of – bike camping gear and bike bags, commuting gear (panniers, rain clothes, etc.), cycling apparel, and more. If you don’t have any gear to contribute, we still want you there! Some of our amazing community partners have donated gear and helmets that we’ll contribute to the Gear Swap Pot. Plus, all leftover gear will be donated to our friends at Bike Farm. Win-win!

We’ll have bubbly water and light snacks to share, and attendees are welcome to bring more potluck-style snacks if that’s your jam. We’ll do it open-house style, so feel free to come and go whenever works for you during the event’s 6-8 p.m. window.

About WeBike:

WeBike is The Street Trust’s program to inspire more trans people of all genders, gender non-conforming people, Two Spirit, and women (both trans and cis) to incorporate a bike into their lives and use biking as a way to meet their transportation needs and personal goals. We aim to dismantle the barriers of cycling through rides, knowledge-sharing events, meet and greets, and mentorship. The WeBike-Portland private Facebook group is a resource, hub, and a way to connect with others riding in the area. If you have any questions about biking or great biking tips you want to share, post them there!

• Location Details: The school basketball area where Mellow Mondays usually meet
• Audience: General (all ages)

Lisa: My partner in Sacramento, CA and I (now in Portland) had a community radio show for the year of 2024 in Davis, CA at KDVS 90.3 FM.
We would play goth, industrial, soundtracks, scores, indie rock, and more. Kyle really liked playing music from mostly small shows (some medium) we would attend.
We are planning to have some of the focus be on the dead or death or related topics to honor The Day of the Dead in our own way.
If anyone has any requests to add to remember or honor their Loved Ones, we welcome those songs. Even if you don't think they fit with our music choices, we still welcome them.
Moorland is helping us with our route. Thanks:)

This event is an opportunity to find free stuff and/or bring stuff you would otherwise donate. That way, all the items stay in the community, instead of going through a third-party seller. You do not need to bring items to take items. If you do bring items, you need to come back at the end of the event to collect whatever items weren’t picked up. The library is wheelchair accessible and has single-stall restrooms.

We’ll begin to gather at the SMART Welcome Center at 5:00 PM for a pre-ride bike decorating party. Bring your bike and get creative with reflective materials and lights before we head out together at 6:00 PM.

Riders are encouraged to decorate their bikes with their brightest, boldest, and coolest lights and help us shine a light on the importance of visibility when walking, biking, and rolling after dark.

Recognized throughout the Pacific Northwest as the “Largest Holiday Light Show West of the Mississippi”, Winter Wonderland will grab your attention with glimmers and glows around every corner. Since 1993, a journey through Winter Wonderland has become a holiday tradition for many families, friends, and social organizations, celebrating the spirit of the season. Spectators can enjoy the region’s most spectacular drive-through light show, viewing over 250 colorful light set pieces and many fully animated scenes from the comfort of their own vehicle. Studded tires and chains are not allowed at Portland International Raceway.

🚨 Newsflash: AN IDEA FOR A RIDE

• Organizer: Gillum the Stoor
• Schedule: Actual time TBD (not necessarily 3pm)
• Audience: General (all ages)

On November 25, 1976 (Thanksgiving Day), the Band held a farewell concert at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. It was The Last Waltz.

Besides The Band, the concert featured their former employers, Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan, as well as Paul Butterfield, Bobby Charles, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood, and Neil Young.

The Last Waltz was filmed by Martin Scorsese who made a documentary film with the same name that came out in 1978. It is considered one of the greatest concert films ever made.

I have to admit that I never saw the film until recently, but with the 50th anniversary coming, I decided that I needed to have a look. It is truly a fine record of rock and other popular music in the mid 1970s and a showcase for the Band itself. (I admit also that I had previously known only their most popular songs.)

This year, November 25 is the day before Thanksgiving. I know that is busy day for many people, but I still think that it would be fitting to commemorate the 50th anniversary in a celebratory bike ride.

I do not have a speaker or trailer or any way to play music during a ride. That is why this is only "an idea for a ride". If this idea inspires you (and especially if you have a way to bring music to a ride), please reach out and let me know. If it doesn't work out, I can always stay home (or go somewhere else - my wife doesn't like the music) and watch the movie again. (I have the Blu-ray!)

Exact time is, of course, flexible, as are starting location, length, etc.

• Organizer: Cameron Bennett
• Schedule: Meet at 8am, ride at 8:30am
• Ride Length: 15+ miles
• End Location: The scheduled portion of the ride will end at the sausage fest. Stick with the group to roll to the Hatfield (Hillsboro) MAX station after dinner, or ride home when you've had enough to eat and drink.
• Location Details: Meet under the picnic shelter by the basketball courts
• Audience: Adults (21+)

Would you ride in the rain for all-you-can-eat bratwurst? Let's enjoy some rolling (and likely rainy) miles to Verboort; the all-you-can eat dinner tastes way better if you ride there!

GETTING THERE
Meet at the Wallace Park picnic shelter near the basketball courts. Gather at 8am, departing at 8:30am - can't be too late to dinner. Pace will be spirited enough to stay warm but slow enough to not show up too sweaty. There will be a few regroup/snack breaks at the top of the climbs, as shown on the route.

THE ROUTE
Please be aware that there are some significant hills on this route, and we will be far from TriMet service at times. While this is a no-drop ride, you are expected to be self-sufficient! Bring enough layers and calories to keep yourself happy and healthy for the conditions. There are short sections of busy roads on route, but it is generally pretty low-traffic. There is a short section of gravel since it's the nicest way to get over the hill; you will be able to ride it on any type of bike.

Bring a lock, lights, rain gear, and some cash! Fenders are appreciated :)

THE SAUSAGE FESTIVAL
Dinner is $23, and there will be a wait to eat after we arrive. Luckily, there's a beer garden to pass the time in... There will be sauerkraut and sausage for sale. Make sure you've got the stomach and cargo capacity to take advantage of it all!

https://www.verboort.org/dinner

GETTING HOME
Worried about riding home? ...trust us, the MAX is the better option. We'll roll out as a group and keep the pace easy on our full tummies.

The door opens at 1:30pm for community members to come in and receive food. We need volunteers the day of event: -We need 4 volunteers in the morning shift to help with processing the donated food, dividing the produces into small portions, setting them up on tables, event set up, etc. -We need 5 volunteers in the afternoon shift to help with distributing food to community members, crowd control, event break down and clean up, etc. The ODHS mission is to help Oregonians in their own communities achieve well-being and independence through opportunities that protect, empower, respect choice, and preserve dignity. The dedication of volunteers plays a vital role in our work, helping the agency fulfill its mission and achieve its goals for Oregonians. Your support strengthens our impact, allowing us to better serve the community and make a meaningful difference. Volunteers will gain knowledge about how ODHS helps community members in need and what they can do if they'd like to help at other food pantries in the area.

🚨 Newsflash: Not a ride

• Organizer: Mick for Ride Westside
• Audience: General (all ages)

Don’t let a flat tire cut your ride short! Join Ride Westside for a hands-on clinic and learn how to repair a bicycle inner-tube puncture with a patch kit.

We’ll walk through finding the cause of a flat, removing the wheel and tube, locating and patching the puncture, and putting everything back together. You’ll have time to practice, ask questions, and learn what to carry in a compact repair kit.

No previous repair experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to give it a try. Leave feeling more confident handling a flat while you’re out riding.

This clinic focuses on conventional inner tubes. Tubeless tires and some e-bike wheels may require different procedures.

Meet our bike club, explore Portland Metro, learn great routes North, South, East and West.We do the planning and you just come out to ride your bike and enjoy some time in the saddle.

Depending on group and weather we may take a spin through the new Vancouver waterfront area. Will include a stop at a nice cafe in Vancouver. Pace 13-15 mph with modifications for specific group.

Everyone (members and non-members) is welcome to attend the club meeting. These meetings are a chance to understand the workings of the club, discuss issues, vote (when there is something to vote on), watch a special interest presentation, socialize, and have a club-provided snack.

Riding to and from the club meeting in the dark and/or inclement weather is discouraged for safety reasons. Rider mileage is NOT available.

Featured Presentation:
This month's Featured Presentation is actually a Featured Participation! We'll be doing the collection for Sno-Cap (food, warm cloths grocery bags, egg cartons, bottles with deposits that they can reclaim, you get the idea).

Unroll your extra wrapping paper, ribbons, and gift bags—let’s share the festive abundance!

Got half-used rolls of wrapping paper? A stash of gift bags too nice to toss? Bring your clean, reusable wrapping supplies and trade them for something new-to-you. Whether you’re a minimalist brown-paper-and-twine fan or a glitter-everything enthusiast, this swap is your chance to wrap sustainably (and save some cash during the spendiest season).

How it works: Bring gift wrap, tissue paper, ribbons, tags, or gift boxes (in good condition—no crumpled wads, please). Take what you need—no trade required! Swap tips on zero-waste wrapping (or just admire each other’s stash).

Why swap? Cut waste—keep paper and bags circulating instead of trashed. Save money—because gifts inside the wrapping matter more. Share the joy—community > consumerism, always.

No fees, no fuss—just guilt-free festive prep.

Join us at The East County Library in Room 2H/J to get your broken items fixed by community volunteers for free. Plus, "shop" for gently used clothing at our free clothing swap. Underground parking is available at the library and overflow parking is available at the City Hall parking lot across the MAX tracks. This event is hosted by the Coalition of Gresham Neighborhood Associations, Gresham Free Swaps and the City of Gresham.

Check-in is from 10:00 am-noon. Checked-in items will be repaired until 1:00 pm.

• Torn clothing, missing buttons and other fabric items – including sock and sweater mending.
• Broken lamps, fans, clocks, vacuums, small kitchen appliances.
• Broken jewelry clasps, earring hooks. No fine jewelry.
• Manual garden tool sharpening: pruning shears, loppers, shovels and spades. No handsaws, knives or power tools.
• Electronics repairs and computer cleaning and tune-ups. These categories generally take longer, and may be limited to one item per person.

Please note: bikes, televisions, microwaves, small engines and fine jewelry are not repairable at this event.

• Try to bring anything that may be needed to repair your item: parts, buttons, matching thread, power cords, batteries, instructions manuals, etc. 
• We try to help everyone who brings an item. If participants bring multiple items (allowed), we can only work on one item at a time and may be able to fix up to one item per person.  
• Our volunteers will do their best to repair your item, but some repairs may be too complicated or require resources unavailable at the event. 
• There may be a wait, depending on the number of repairs.

Coats and winter wear in good condition is this event's featured swap item. "Shop" for previously loved clothes and bring some to share with others.

• Find original styles not in stores.
• Extend the lifespan of clothes already in circulation.
• Be environmentally friendly and economical by wearing secondhand items.
• Clothing donation or Repair Cafe participation isn't required to participate in the swap. Please bring your own bag. Master recyclers will be available to answer questions about reuse and waste prevention.

Each year, Transition Projects assists over 10,000 people experiencing homelessness. Roughly half of Portlanders experiencing homelessness are currently unsheltered. Our Navigation Team seeks to engage people where they are, build trust, and help make connections to needed support services. Sack lunches provide a healthy meal and help build connections. Volunteers will be asked to bring items to contribute to the sack lunches and the group will prepare 50-100 sack lunches to be given out by our Navigation Team to individuals currently unhoused. You will be assigned what items to bring. Bring your food items and work alongside other volunteers to make sack lunches including PB&J sandwiches, fruit, and snacks. We're counting on you! It is imperative that if you sign up for this project, you intend to be there and provide the ingredients that are assigned to you. When volunteers don't show up, we're not able to prepare the sack lunches. If you are unable to attend, please let us know ASAP! Please note: no volunteer will be turned away due to lack of resources. If bringing a food item is a hardship for you, please let us know. Opportunity Requirements: Volunteers must be 6 years of age or older to participate in this opportunity; any volunteer under age 16 must attend with a parent or adult chaperone. Click on "Express Interest" below if you are interested in helping out! **This is a Referral Opportunity, which means it is run directly by one of our nonprofit partners. Once you express interest, someone from the partner organization should follow up with you shortly to discuss confirming you as a volunteer for this opportunity. **Please note, your hours may not be recorded in your Hands On Greater Portland account since this is a partner-managed opportunity.

Yo it's Backpack, I am leading the DBBC club ride for November because it's right around my birthday. It'll be pretty chill pace, accessible to all bicycles (feel free to ride a freak bike if you have one). It should be a relatively easy route (classic three stops: park -> store -> end). Ending with a campfire, free stickers, should be a good time. Bring your friends, bring your grandma, bring your dog. It will likely be chilly, so dress warm / pack layers. Be respectful to other riders! If a rando is being a weird let someone in the club know!

I am hoping to facilitate a casual game of mumblety-peg at the end spot. If you are unfamiliar with the game there's be no obligation to play.
Thank you, hope to see you at the ride!
