BikeLoud Action Meetings
BikeLoud Action Meetings (BLAM) are a way for members to get together to exchange ideas and projects. These are held every two weeks, alternating in-person in the evening, and daytime via Zoom. Find the schedule via the #blam channel on Slack.
Monthly Meeting
We share news, ideas, and plans at our monthly meeting, on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6pm. Mostly online, but sometimes outdoors in the good weather. Checkout our newsletter for details.
Social Media
Connect with us via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Make sure to join our Facebook community page as well!
Advocacy

Volunteer
BikeLoud is an entirely volunteer-run organization. We could currently use more help with social media, finances, and coordinating testimony. Have a skill or idea you'd like to share with us? E-mail us at bikeloudpdx@gmail.com. We often share new opportunities as they come up, so make sure to keep in touch with us and take a look at upcoming events.
