The results are in and chewy! To commemorate Bike in Shapes’ 5th birthday, you voted to ride the timeless “Gummy Worm & Swedish Fish” shapes along a river loop. We’ll meet Wednesday June 17th, at 7pm at Oakshire Public House. $1 of all proceeds will go to benefit the Be Noble Foundation from 5pm-10pm. Thanks to Oakshire Brewing for supporting this cause.
Be Noble was established honoring a dear friend and regular of Bike in Shapes, Erin Noble (pictured in center). Be Noble promotes environmental stewardship and social causes in memory of Erin. With community and public support, Be Noble recently saved the Amazon Creek Headwaters and surrounding forest where Erin hiked regularly. June 17th is part of #NobleWeek.

May is Bike Month, and there are numerous rides to be traversed…including this roar from Bike in Shapes. Michael Crichton may have introduced you to the velociraptor, brontosaurus, and the t-rex, but have you ever heard of the bikeosaurus? You know, the dino who likes to bike commute in its lady bug helmet. Let’s excavate the Bikeosaurus on Wednesday, May 20th, leaving Hop Valley in the Whittaker at 7pm. Thanks to Hop Valley Brewing Co. for hosting us!
Spring is here and the river calls. We’re beginning our countdown to Bike in Shapes’ 5th birthday in June. It seems like the perfect time to dig up, the shape that started it all: the OG, the Frog’s Tongue and Fly. That’s right, the origins of Bike in Shapes can be traced to a ride following a “tongue” that flows along the Willamette only to meet an industrial plant of a “fly” past the Knickerbocker Bridge.This bizarre whim set in motion these past five years of pomp and absurdity. So, let’s dust off the Tongue, and meet at Sam Bond’s Garage this Thursday at 7pm, ride the river, and return in ample time for their 90’s night.
Come this Thursday and be prepared to vote your favorite all-time shape as a finalist for the June 17th Anniversary ride.
