Goods BMX doing well on MLK

The other day, while looking for the BMX Museum, I happened upon a new bike shop in Northeast Portland called Goods. Goods specializes in high-end BMX parts, frames, and clothing.
The shop was started about a year ago by 10-year Portland resident Shad Johnson. While Shad says there’s a great BMX scene in Portland, most of his sales come from his website at GoodsBMX.com.
In typical BMX’er fashion, I received the glaring stare-down by some too-cool shop regulars when I rolled up on my dorky road bike. They looked at me and said, “You must be looking for Cyclepath.” Cyclepath is a shop that sells custom road and mountain bikes and is in the same building as Goods.
Notable at the shop is the huge bizillion-inch big screen TV. I assumed it was for watching BMX videos until they pulled out the Playstation 2. I just love it when bike sub-cultures live up to their stereotypes!
If you’re into BMX and want to check out a really nice shop, stop into 2808 NE MLK Jr. BLVD. (Suite O) and pay Shad a visit. See the rest of my photos here.

That's a great shop and Shad's a hell of a nice guy.
BMXers ride for fun, not as a form of political statement.
Don't get me started on stereotyping the typical PDX cyclist.

For some reason, the phrase 'high-end BMX parts' made me chuckle. Apparently there's a whole world there I've never encountered.
Oh, and that Cyclepath blog sure is... never updated.

Our luck in finding a trustworthy, efficient web designer has been a major fiasco. a few have been commissioned and been too busy to get it done in a reasonable time or fall down on the job. We now have a guy who's taking care of building the site. So, within 2-3 weeks we should have a new Cycle Path website. stay tuned.
