June 1 - August 31 Get Bikey

Not art but a beautiful Portland phenomenon. Bike summer begins.

Portland bikey has many historical vectors including alleycats, continuing, but at its prime when we had physical messengers on fixies, Zoobombing, a 2 week Minibike Summer in 2003, and Minibike Winter, 2004. Minibike Winter, with travelers to Portland to engage, corresponded with the Light Bar organized by Mykle Hanson, https://msl.mykle.com/category/inventions/, social practice artist before that was invented at his home on Killingsworth in the month of February. The Light Bar led to the Winter Light Festival. Originally Minibike Summer, Pedalpaloosa expanded to the entire Summer.

It's open source. Anyone can organize a ride and seeing the website, anyone can join. Some are costumed and many have themes. The naked bike rides are part of it too.
