What’s on your list this weekend? The weather looks a bit iffy, but you never know how it’ll end up so you might as well plan to ride.
If the national news has dampened your mood, let me make two suggestions: Evalyn Parry’s SPIN, a show about the bicycle’s impact on women; and the two trail work days on Saturday where you can do something to improve your community.
Check out our selections below. And don’t forget to check the full calendar for the latest updates…

I haven’t learned much about CORVIDAE bike club yet. This is their monthly ride and it’ll be slow-paced. Organizers say, “This is a safe environment for all, no aggressive, sexist, racist, or any other kind of bullshit will be tolerated. We aim to promote bike safety and accessibility, and to inspire biking as a alternative to fossil fueled travel within Portland.” More info here.
Zoobomb – 8:30 pm at The Pyle (SW 13th and Burnside)
