I never realized Cycle Oregon had its headquarters right here in North Portland. I visited them today to talk top secret business stuff and was impressed by what I saw. I especially liked this nifty bike rack.
Here’s a photo of their top guy, Jerry Norquist (thanks for lunch!). He’s been in the bike industry (Specialized, Trek) for over 30 years and brings some serious vision and connections to his position.
Cycle Oregon has all sorts of exciting things up their sleeves and you can count on hearing much more from them in the coming months. For starters, you might want to check out their big kick-off party at the Portland Art Museum on February 7th. They’ll be announcing this year’s route and from what I hear it’s a good place to hob-nob with high powered bike folks. Oooh such fun.
