My Friend Joe back home has put together an event that will function in tandem with the North American Hand Built Bike Show which will be in Portland Oregon this year. The show is Feb. 8th-10th and will showcase bike culture and design from around the U.S. Portland in particular is establishing a reputation of being a bike friendly city in a car centric world. From civic administration being mindful of traffic layouts and decisions, to bike manufacturers who continue to raise the bar of engineering and design for cycling.

The event is to be held at Wieden+Kennedy and will showcase several of the local cycling teams. The intent is to open the doors of the convention hall for the bike show atendees and invite them inside WK for a display of cycle kits, equipment and a photography exhibit. Below is a link dump of several cycle-centric aspects to the City of Roses.

If you can make the trip to the Portland Convention Center it will be worth it. A show that is as much about usability design as it is about bikes and having fun.

Arguably the most coveted of custom cycles made. Sasha White’s remarkable attention to detail is on a standard of high art. A six year minimum waiting list says it all.
