Inside Portland’s smallest bike shop
The Portland State University Bike Co-op is a tiny, self-service shop located in a parking garage in downtown Portland. It opened up in October 2004 and it serves the estimated 1500-2000 daily bike riders at PSU. I stopped by yesterday to check it out…all 136 square feet of it. Yes, that’s small. In this picture I’m standing on one side of the shop and Ian (the manager) is at the other. Pretty hard to believe you can run a bike shop from a space like this, but Ian pulls it off with flying colors.
The Erik Tonkin Column
I’m happy to announce that local professional ‘cross racer Erik Tonkin will be publishing a weekly column here on BikePortland.org. Well, not exactly here…I went and made him his own space.
He’s gotten off to a great start with this article about how his friends help beat him up in mock races around Reed College in preparation for the World Championships.
Erik leaves this morning for the Netherlands and I’m looking forward to posting his race reports before the mud dries. Good luck to Erik and the entire Oregon contigent!
