Molly Cameron, owner of downtown Portland’s Veloshop is profiled in the “Wrench” section of the latest issue of Bicycling Magazine.
The article (on page 43 of the September issue) focuses on Molly’s committment to making sure nothing in her store is derived from animals. That means no leather saddles and no animal-derived proteins in the energy drinks she sells.
Along with being the only full-time employee and owner of Veloshop, Molly is doing a full schedule of races. She’s having a great year and will definitely be a rider to watch during the upcoming cyclocross season.
Next time you’re downtown, stop in to 211 SW 9th (on the same block as Rocco’s Pizza near Powell’s), check out all the cool stuff for sale and say hi.
Ironically, in the same issue (page 21) is a letter from Bike Gallery employee and Brett Fleming, who writes in to express his dislike of the term “wrench.” The 27-year veteran mechanic finds the term “borderline degrading” and prefers to be called a mechanic or technician.
