A good route reasonably free of traffic at the time you're riding, and a liberal interpretation of what bikes to allow is helpful. Its all about the fun of riding, and no one should be turned away for the bike they are riding.
Heck, I ride with the Portland C&V gang... on my Gold Rush recumbent. It's almost 20 years old.
I probably helps that I worked in the bicycle business starting in 1979. I started at B&H Cycle when it was on Mission Street in South Pasadena. It looks like these rides go right past that location.
