[Matt Bracken]

This morning I met Matt Bracken, a 20-year bike industry veteran best known for his work as President of Independent Fabrications, a company widely respected for their custom-made bicycles.

Matt was in town for some dealer visits (including Veloce on Hawthorne) and I caught up with him at Albina Press in North Portland before he headed down to Eugene and Bend.

IF started 11 years ago from the ashes of another fabled, Somerville, Massachusetts-based bike maker, Fat City Cycles. In just over a decade, IF has grown to 13 employees. What I like about IF, besides their stunning bikes, are the values and the business practices they’ve adhered to even as the company has had great success and growth.

Fill in the bubble for bikes

Three Bridges dedication ceremony

I don’t know much about politics, but I know what I like.

That’s why I’m going to fill in the bubble for bikes and vote “Yes” on Measure 26-80.

Passage of 26-80 will do lots of great stuff for the health and livability of our region. The cash raised would help Metro finish gaps in several popular trails (like the Springwater) and make connections from local to regional trails (like the Gresham-Fairview Trail).

I can’t believe a certain local weekly newspaper thought it would be cool “send a message” to Metro and tell folks to vote no on this.
