Portland’s bike economy in the news again
Custom bike and parts manufacturing, like these
freshly brazed forks by Joseph Ahearne,
are just one part of Portland’s emerging
bike economy.

Portland’s National Public Radio affiliate, OPB, has a story today on the connections between Portland’s bike culture and our fledgling bike economy.
The piece is titled, Portland’s Bike Culture Creates Market.
The story, likely spurred by a similar article in the New York Times back in November, starts out with an obligatory mention of Zoobomb (they should get royalties every time a media outlet drops their name) and includes a brief interview with a local bike news publisher, and an employee from Beaverton-based rack manufacturer, Yakima.
