With seven in-person events, a month-long photo challenge, and a raffle for a free one-year membership to the Lloyd Cycle Station, Go Lloyd has wrapped up our Bike Month festivities! It was great to see many new and familiar faces enjoying their bikes throughout the month of May.
We were delighted to host two PBOT-facilitated workshops in the Lloyd Cycle Station in May: Bike Maintenance Basics on May 4 and Bike Commuting Basics on May 25. The talented facilitators Timo Forsberg and Claire Bach combined their extensive Portland By Cycle knowledge and bike maintenance abilities to prepare attendees for every biking possibility. The Lloyd Cycle Station also hosted two Service Days where bike mechanics provided free tune-ups, adjustments, and referrals for service to anyone who stopped by with their bicycle. Thank you to Timothy at Earth Bicycle Service and Mitch at PDX Mobile Bike Repair for their expertise.
Go Lloyd’s annual Bike to Work Day event on May 19 was a blast, with over 100 attendees visiting Hassalo Plaza! Guests tested out new models of Spin scooters and BIKETOWN bikes, took home free helmets, enjoyed Fuego Food Cart for lunch, and received free bike repair services. The sun and busy atmosphere created a wonderful sense of Lloyd community. Those who visited the event were able to enter our raffle for the one-year Lloyd Cycle Station subscription, and Go Lloyd was happy to award the winner their prize last week.
On May 26, the last Friday in May, Go Lloyd was honored to launch our partnership with Shift’s Breakfast on the Bridges volunteer team. Go Lloyd will be donating the donuts for the monthly Blumenauer Bridge Breakfast on the Bridge event throughout 2023! And Bike Month was completed on May 30 with a group ride that stopped at the Blumenauer Bridge, then biked to Eb & Bean for frozen yogurt on Go Lloyd.
Thank you to those who participated in Go Lloyd’s Bike Month activities, and those who entered the Bike the Blumenauer Bridge challenge. We look forward to seeing you at future events throughout the year—and for the next Bike Month in May 2024!
