An announcement from Portland Green Streets and the Bike Commuters Meetup group:
An interfaith "Blessing of the Bicycles" will be held on May 17 at 12:30 PM at St. Luke's Cathedral, 143 State Street, Portland. Adults and children of any faith (or no faith background at all) are welcomed to attend with their bicycles and any other non-motorized wheeled vehicles. The brief service will include a multi-faith blessing, a sprinkling of bikes with holy water, and a moment of remembrance for riders who have passed away this past year, followed by refreshments.
