MUSIC—When James Brown wanted to give it up and turn it loose? He turned to Bootsy Collins. When George Clinton needed a glide in his stride? Bootsy put that dip in his hip. When the Godfather and Dr. Funkenstein need you to achieve their full-funk potential, your legend status is bona fide. BOBBY ROBERTS

BIKES—We all know about Portland’s cycling culture. What gets lost—most crucially among city leaders—is how much stronger it might be with better street infrastructure coaxing people onto their bikes. That’s why this year’s Pedalpalooza features a City Hall Rally. Pack city council chambers, and help officials remember there’s a bike plan they’re supposed to be following. DIRK VANDERHART
Portland City Hall, 1221 SW 4th, rally begins at 8 am, council meeting at 9:30 am
