Cultural artifact stolen: Have you seen this bike?


“Rad Amerika” was stolen from Washington Park last Monday.
Please contact me if you’ve seen it.


Few people in Portland’s bike scene put as much creativity and thought into their bikes (or their outfits) as Gabriel Amadeus Tiller. He’s got the zaniest collection of tall-bikes, freak chopper bikes, and mini-bikes I’ve ever come across.

You’d think such distinct rigs would be theft-proof right? Unfortunately someone nabbed one of Gabe’s latest creations — a downhill-specific mini-bike named “Rad Amerika” — from Washington Park last Monday.

If you see this bike, contact Gabe via this thread in the Zoobomb Forum, or drop me a line and I’ll forward the info onto him directly.

Surely with all the eyes we’ve got on the street, someone must have seen this thing… let’s help return this artifact of Portland bike culture to its rightful owner!
