Big Bike Ride is a "rock" band based out of Springfield, Oregon. They formed in early 2008, with members Tig Oglesby and Jeremiah Harris currently involved.

History
Jeremiah and Tig began playing music together while still teenagers. This was at Tig's first house in Springfield after relocating from Benicia, CA. Tig went on to play drums for the Eugene bands Ahisma, Caricature of Hate, Eat Shit Fuck Face, Brown Bath, Carquinez Strait, and Janitors. He currently plays drums for the drone band Casu Marzu. Jeremiah has played in dozens of Eugene bands including Brown Bath, Eat Shit Fuck Face, Pistol Whipped Prophets, Mood Area 52, Traitor Hearts, and Los Mex Pistols Del Norte. Todd Mathis began working on songs with Tig in late 2006, after years of jamming together but not forming an "official" band. Their first band was Carquinez Strait, which also included some old childhood friends of Tig's and a coworker. After 1 show and a bunch of cool songs, the band, like many bands, completely went away. The two continued to arrange songs together, and invited Jeremiah to play bass.

Current Projects
After only a few live shows, also featuring members Owen Ott on guitar and Max Cole on keyboard, Big Bike Ride has now become strictly a recording-only band. Their live shows were usually loud, drunk, and disasterous, and overall not representing the bands sound, though some people thought the live shows were just fine. As of April 2010, Big Bike Ride is recording 4 albums worth of material on 4 track. Jeremiah continues to play in his other bands Traitor Hearts (with Todd Mathis), Pistol whipped Prophets, and Los Mex Pistols Del Norte. Tig continues to play drums for Casu Marzu, and is also in the Oregon Army National Guard.
