Whether this is your first WeBike event (newbs welcome and encouraged!) or you’ve been here all along, we want to show you our new The Street Trust offices, share what we’ve got planned in 2026, collect your ideas, and distribute snacks and swag.
We’ll toast (with fizzy water) to a decade of inspiring, celebrating, and centering trans people of all genders, nonbinary people, and women (both trans and cis) to incorporate a bike into their lives and use biking as a way to meet their transportation needs and personal goals.
In one week! Join me for the WeBike WTFNB+ programs’s 10th Anniversary Party 🎉

We’re hosting a fun party at @thestreettrust.org new office in downtown Portland.
We're hiring a part-time Program Assistant! Interested in working 20hrs a week (hybrid in greater PDX area) team developing and executing events to promote community mobility?
The Street Trust is looking for a caring, thoughtful individual who can connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
Ah! Someone noticed and texted me a pic of that, but without the caption. 😊 I gotta come up and check it out—I miss MOHAI!
✌️
Starting your week with some good news, we're proud to share that Madi Carlson has been promoted to be The Street Trust's Program Director. Madi leads our education, engagement, & programmatic work. She shared some highlights so far:
Join us for the 15th Oregon Active Transportation Summit (OATS) at PSU as a speaker or presenter! OATS brings together government practitioners, nonprofit leaders, private sector experts, and advocates to advance innovative solutions in active transportation and public transit.
Strategic masterminds, the OR Democrats, think cutting safety funding for kids trying to get to school is the way to solve our transportation budget woes. Actually, the OPPOSITE is true: red or blue, urban or rural, safety for kids and families around schools is a TOP PRIORITY and BASIC NEED.
A screenshot of an Oregonian article with photo of me leading a bike ride, with Councilor Tiffany Koyama Lane to my right. The headline reads, Portland’s annual New Year’s Day bike ride sees pugs, city councilor riding in the rain.
HNY! Top billing from @oregonian.com for pugs on @thestreettrust.org New Years Day Ride 😂
Had the weather been better, I’d have spent more time playing w/ the pugs, too. However, it allowed me the opportunity to chat more w/ @councilortkl.bsky.social—silver lining!

Strava shared image of a 10.58 mile ride taking 1 hour with 451-foot elevation gain. The map shows the ride is from Glendale to Burbank.
In retrospect, LAX would’ve had more transit options than BUR for early morning, but 4am on a weekday between Xmas & NYE is definitely the best time ever for the 10mi ride from Glendale to Burbank. Everything so was amazingly quiet & empty, plus WOW there’s some nice infrastructure near the airport
We're so close to today's mini-goal for Big E-Bike Day. If just 42 people give $30 before midnight, we'll be in good shape to continue our work to expand safe, accessible transportation for all Oregonians - especially the 30% of us who don't drive.
⚠️ Give at www.TheStreetTrust.org/gg to win! ⚠️
IT'S HERE, BIG E-BIKE DAY... along with your chance to win an amazing 2025 Tern HSD S00 e-bike from Splendid Cycles with every gift of $10 or more, but only before midnight tonight.
And costumes! I’m taking us through Portland Art Museum’s new passageway so you’re encouraged to dress as your “most artistic winter self.”
The party starts at noon on 1/1 at the Cart Blocks.
Will I climb atop by bike to capture the perfect group shot again? Probably, but come along to find out.
Portland: come celebrate the new year with me at the annual @thestreettrust.org New Year’s Day Ride! It’s my 5th year leading, but the 70th-ish overall 🤩
We’ve got an awesome route this year, great playlist, tasty snacks & warm drinks, and oodles of prizes at the end

New passageway at Portland Art Museum!
My opa was a preeminent Rembrandt art historian—in Den Haag & Groningen—but we all spent a lot of time in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam—it has a BIG bikeway, but this little guy has a similar vibe.

Please give if you can - between Trump and Drazan, the GOP is doing everything they can to dismantle transportation funding for anything but highways in Oregon.
The Street Trust REALLY needs your support in this end of year giving campaign.
May his memory be a blessing. I’m so sorry to hear this.
I saw! Looking forward to seeing you 😊
Six metal bike racks and 24 metal bike rack legs on the side of a longtail cargo bike
View downwards of the front of a bike with six bike racks (4 on the right and 2 on the left) jutting forward on either side
Here to admit that it’s easier to tote the Shift bike racks with my big trailer vs my Big Dummy.
Hope to see you all (and your bike locked up to one of these racks) at @thestreettrust.org Alice Awards tmw night 🎉
I started with racks on both sides of the bike, but that only lasted a few blocks 😬
