There are many important parts to the well-oiled Cycle Oregon machine, but perhaps none is more essential than the mechanical support provided by Bike Gallery.

These guys work just for tips and they’re committed to keeping everyone on the road. With fully-stocked mini-vans they set up at water stops, rest stops, and wherever their help is needed. Then at camp each night — when everyone else is headed for the beer garden and some R&R — they’re faced with a daunting workload. Right now, while riders settle into their tents for the night, they’re working under the lights triage-style to get bikes ready for the morning.

Impressive films, depressing turnout at Bicycle Film Fest

What do you get when you cross the world’s biggest bike film festival with America’s best biking city? You’d think it would be a winning combination, but organizers of the Bicycle Film Festival – which opened at Cinema 21 last night — are scratching their heads over the low turnout.

Despite an impressive line-up of award-winning films, ticket sales thus far are far below expectations and pale in comparison to other cities — including Paris, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York — where the festival has stopped.

The Bicycle Film Festival rolls into its second day of screenings today with a full day’s worth of amazing films.

Today’s line-up brings some local flavor to the festival: St. Johns resident Bob Crispin will display his Hall of Fame mountain bike in the lobby before the screening of “Klunkerz” at 3:00 and local filmmaker Vanessa Renwick will screen her work, “Yodeling Lesson”, which features a nude woman riding no-handed down the Mississippi/Albina hill in North Portland.
