The MADE 2024 bike show will return to Portland next month. Organizers announced Monday that tickets are now available for the event that will take place once again at the Zidell Yards venue in South Waterfront on August 23rd through 25th.
Last year MADE brought around 200 exhibitors to the cavernous, 100,000-square foot former shipbuilding warehouse and in so doing set a new standard for handmade bike shows and cemented Portland’s status as a cycling epicenter. The show’s organizers, bike industry public relations and marketing firm Echos Communications, is fresh off a show in Melbourne, Australia in June.
Th exhibitor list for MADE 2024 includes over 50 framebuilders and Echos already saying it will be, “the world’s largest gathering of builders and the public.” Among the builders coming this year are Portland-area favorites HotSalad Bicycles, Ira Ryan Cycles, Fiddlehead Cycles and Sage Titanium.
“For 2024 we’ve expanded the floorplan and have ample space for new builders and brands to join the community,” said MADE Co-found and Show Director Billy Sinkford. “We have new brand partnerships and activations with BikeFlights, Campagnolo, Chris King, ENVE, Shimano and Yakima, builders coming in from all across the world, and a full schedule of events.”
If you love bicycles and appreciate the craft of building them from raw materials into beautilitarian machines, you should consider attending this show. It’s a unique celebration of the art of framebuilding and a gathering of artisans and admirers where everyone is welcome.
