Bike gang documentary coming to Portland
Portland is home to more than a few bike gangs. We’ve got:
- The Belligerantes: Mostly a social club, they ride classic Schwinns with ape-hanger bars and banana seats.
- The Zoobombers: Everyone knows what they do.
- Chunk 666: Mutant bike builders preparing for “car”mageddon.
- Dropout Bike Club: They build all types of bikes (tall, swing, spin, mini, etc…) and have weekly rides.
Hold on to your helmets, here comes Pedalpalooza
Pedalpalooza — a 17-day explosion of bike rides and events that sets Portland’s cycling scene apart from all others — kicks off with a roaring start today (actually, there’s a morning ride on the Columbia Slough going on right now).
