Shawn Granton and story by
Portlander Mykle Hansen.
The current issue of the always excellent Vancouver BC-based Momentum Magazine has some notable Portland coverage.
There’s a great story titled Bicycle Dream Date by local writer (and much more) Mykle Hansen. Its a great account of a full day on a bike and Hansen manages to weave in much of what makes life on a bike in Portland so, well, dreamy.
My favorite line is, “Biking in Portland is like being gay in San Francisco: it’s just normal.”
Hansen’s article is partnered with a full-page illustration by well-known Portland artist Shawn Granton.

For many Generation X’ers, BMX bikes were the gateway drug into a lifetime love of bicycling. I can still remember following my older brothers to the local dirt jump track and coveting brands like Hutch, G.T., and P.K. Ripper.
That’s why this event poster pinned to the door of The Recyclery in southeast Portland caught my eye.
The event is being put together by members of a popular, locally-based BMX website, BMXMuseum.com (I wrote about it last year).
