The Supermarket Street Sweep (aka “SMSW” or “The Sweep”) is an annual bike race that benefits the SF-Marin Food Bank (SFMFB). Since 2005, hundreds of participants have zipped around the city to local supermarkets and brought back thousands of pounds of food to donate to this wonderful charity. To date, Sweepers have helped provide over 425,000 meals to neighbors in need.
Help us make the 2025 edition of the Sweep even bigger by participating, volunteering, or donating. Sign up (it’s free to enter) and learn more at supermarketstreetsweep.com.

Film and friends: An evening with Skyler Bishop and Race Around Rwanda
We believe in supporting the cycling community in tangible ways. That’s why we were excited to host a special evening for Portland’s cyclists, featuring a film by our client, Skyler Bishop, at Cyclepath Northwest bike shop. The event centered on Skyler’s incredible documentary of the 2025 Race Around Rwanda.

To start the evening, we organized a community ride, bringing local riders together to enjoy a spin around Portland’s streets before the main event.
Skyler’s film about the Race Around Rwanda transported us all. It beautifully captured the raw beauty and challenging terrain of the country, showcasing the grit and resilience required for this ultra-endurance event. Viewers enjoyed stunning visuals of endless dirt roads, grueling climbs, and the vibrant local culture that defines the RaR experience. Skyler’s unique perspective, as both a rider and filmmaker, shined throughout.
After the film, Skyler shared insights and answered questions for the curious. It was clear the event struck a chord: reinforcing the shared passion and camaraderie that unites the cycling world, from inside a local bike shop to the other side of the globe.
