Council & Candidate Ride
Sunday, September 29 • 10 AM • History table at Gorham's corner (intersection of York, Pleasant and Center Streets)
Join The Portland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Portland Trails on our annual Council and Candidate Ride: a look at the state of the circumferential Peninsula loop.
We’ll be riding at a conversational “party pace”. All are welcome and encouraged to join us for the ride! We anticipate arriving at the Portland Trail’s office at 38 Diamond Street a little before Noon, where we'll hold a discussion of the ride: feel free to meet us there if you’re not up for a 6 mile ride.
It’ll be a great opportunity to meet folks running for city council and local Bicycle and Pedestrian Advocates. The route will highlight both areas in need of improvement and recent successes throughout District 1 and District 2, both of which have open council elections taking place this November 5th.
The Route can be found here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47786927
All are welcome and encouraged to join us for the ride, even if you aren't a PBPAC member! If you need to borrow a bike or e-bike, or require accommodations to attend, please email pbpac.chair@gmail.com and we will be happy to help!

2023 Candidate & Community ride: September 17th
Join us for our annual Candidate & Community ride!
We'll depart from the Riverton Community Center ( 1600 Forest Ave, Portland, ME 04103) at 11:00 AM.
Since District 4 & 5 are both selecting councilors this year, the ride will go from the Riverton Community Center in District 5 to Payson Park in District 4 via some back streets & trails: the trails aren't particularly challenging, and the route is only 3.6 miles: we don't be ridding straight down Forest Ave, never fear!
We'll finish up with a discussion at Payson Park, on the Triangle of grass between Catafalque Drive & Inlet Road, at just the right time to attend the Back Cove Neighborhood Association's Baxter Blvd Reopening Party (which is 12:30-3:30 & includes music & food trucks!) (https://fb.me/e/4Y3Z79gru)
We'll hand out maps, ride directions & a set of return directions just in case folks drive to the Start.
PBPAC Social Hour
Wednesday, June 5 • 6-730 PM • Austin Street Brewery, 115 Fox Street
Join us for a free-form, no-agenda gathering of people who move about the city by foot and wheel and get to know more about PBPAC and how to get involved! Anyone is welcome, whether you are a long-time member or just interested in talking with folks who are passionate about active transportation.
