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).
One of them is Rob Pugh. He says the show will have prizes for Best of Show and other categories and that while the focus is on bikes from the ’70s and ’80s, newer bikes are also welcome.

The event is sponsored by The Recyclery, Seven Corners Cyclery, and Brooker Enterprises (a local powdercoater who specializes in bicycles).
The show runs from 10am to 2pm on Saturday the 18th at Blue Lake Regional Park. Admission to the show is free, but entry to the park is $4.
