Let’s open a can of…Chuck Norris Redux, the shape. We’ll meet at the Rennie’s Landing at 7pm this Thursday, March 29th, and strut from there. In honor of this ride, here’s a few Chuck Norris Bike Facts you may not know:
Travel back to your freshman dorm wall decoration–let’s revive 1978 National Lampoon classic set here in our little-old campus town. In Bike in Shapes’ first ever texted-based ride, let’s the stitch the infamous “COLLEGE” lettering in John Belushi’s icon sweatshirt. We’ll meet at the Bier Stein at 7pm on Thursday and finish at original Pegasus Pizza on campus (790 E. 14th). Toga wear permitted!

When I dip and you dip we dip! Let’s all ride the Big Dipper and then follow the “north star” down Lincoln St. to the Little Dipper on the river. We’ll meet outside The Cider House at WildCraft Cider Works at 7pm this Thursday.
Get out your unicycle (or bicycle) because it’s time to ride the uni-brow of uni-brows. That’s right, let’s trace Ernie’s best friend’s eye brow. We’ll meet this Monday, January 25th at The Cannery at 7pm. As you can see, Burt means business–be there or be rectangle.
**This ride is cancelled due to expectations of 99 degree + temperature. We’ll see you in September!**
Grab on to your handlebars & handlebar mustaches, it’s time for the yearly abuelo of all Bike in Shapes…the Tour de Shapes (aka a longer summer weekend ride). Next Sunday, we’ll start from Arriving By Bike at 11am, and trace Zapata’s Mustache out to Agrarian Ales in Coburg. Viva la peddling revolucions!
Are you ready for the Prime-ary time?! Let’s dip our wheels, and paint an ode to the original city grid artist…Piet Mondrian. Meet at Falling Sky’s new Delicatessan (on 10th & Blair) on Thursday, October 17th at 7pm and ride this way and that. Extra points for wearing your favorite primary color!
BikeInShapes is turning three years old! (Those terrible-twos were something else). To celebrate, let’s ride in the shape of our favorite three-horned friend, a triceratops. And after a triceratops ride, there’s pretty much only one beer we can return to: Ninkasi’s “Tricerahops.”
So dust off your tricycle for the triceratops on Thursday, June 20th leaving Ninkasi at 7pm. Any friends of Eugene-Springfield are welcome! Thanks to our friends at Ninkasi for hosting us!
BikeInShapes is bubbling in anticipation to honor and continue celebrating the life of Erin Noble. We’re calling it the “Be Noble” ribbon ride. We will begin where many Noble mornings began, the Martin’s Trailhead off W. Amazon (See map). We’ll trot our bikes down the Amazon Creek running trail, looping Erin’s ribbon through town over to the Whitaker. The ride will conclude with fundraiser pints at Ninkasi.
The time ha
s been change from August 30th to Monday, September 3rd to accommodate a generous gesture from Ninkasi Brewing. Their tasting room is donating a portion of the beer proceeds all day Labor Day to Erin Noble’s Fund to Save the Amazon Creek Headwaters.
So to recap:
Date: Labor Day Monday, September 3rd.
Start: Martin’s Trailhead, 6:30pm.
Finish: Ninkasi Tasting Room, 7-9pm.
Ninkasi Brewing is donating 25% their tasting room beer proceeds all day Labor Day to Erin Noble’s Fund to Save the Amazon Creek Headwaters. Thank you Ninkasi for this generous gesture.
We’ve talked (for years now) about doing an extra long, extra summer ride. So here it is…the Tour de Shapes ’12, the Stingray. We’ll meet on Saturday, August 11th, at 1pm, at the river path bridge across from Valley River Center, and ride an incredible 30 mile loop with stints/stings along the river and McKenzie View Drive, and finish at Oakshire Brewery. Thanks to Mike Howard for the design.
