Mad Fiber Wheel Demo at Western Bikeworks
August 6th at 9:00 am

Event Description:

Rather than using carbon fiber to replicate wheel components originally made of metal, what if wheel design was optimized to realize the maximum potential of carbon fiber? Why choose between aerodynamics, strength and weight savings when you can have it all?

The revolutionary Mad Fiber Wheelset eliminates the compromise from performance wheel selection. Representatives from Mad Fiber will be there to answer all of your questions. See our calendar for more details on this and other Western Bikeworks events.

Mayor Adams weighs in on Williams Ave project

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

“… if the community doesn’t have the power to choose a solution, it doesn’t matter how good the solution is… To empower the community and find a way forward, I pledge that my staff and the Portland Bureau of Transportation staff will support you and work with all stakeholders to make progress.”

In a letter sent out yesterday to the project’s 18-member Stakeholder Advisory Committee, Adams addressed the many sensitive topics that this process has brought to the fore. I am working on a recap of an important meeting that took place last night. In the meantime, I’ve posted Adams’ letter below:
