It’s early August in Portland, and that means it’s MADE Bike Show season. MADE brings the world’s best bicycle makers to our fair city for three days of exhibiting, rides, parties, and hanging out. This year’s show is the third annual and it happens at Zidell Yards in South Waterfront August 22nd, 23rd, and 24th.
And like we’ve done for the past two years at Bike Happy Hour, we want to celebrate MADE by inviting everyone to bring their best bike to the Rainbow Road Plaza for a good, ol’ fashioned, show-and-shine. We’ll park bikes in the street and you’ll get to tell the story about your bike to fellow bike lovers. All bikes are welcome!
I’ve also confirmed that MADE show creator Billy Sinkford will join us during open mic to share the best bits about this year’s show and we’ll give away free tickets and MADE swag. So make sure you don’t miss this week’s Bike Happy Hour and get ready to celebrate handmade bikes and some of the most beautiful bicycles in Portland.

I will bring my Vanilla …
Awesome! I will bring my Ahearne if I can figure out a way to carry all the BHH stuff with it and not kill my knees.
Do you need help?
Thanks Van. If you have any wheel racks to help stand bikes up, that would be cool. I have no idea how many folks will bring bikes.
Well my bad I didn’t see this till now, too late and I didn’t even bring enough for me, the Ritchey went down twice from people squeezing through not enough space.
Efed a perfect big copper rivet Black Brooks Pro, I suck.
Glad you brought the Ahearne, very cool, he was on the short list when I built the Strawberry.
Great news, can’t wait, see you there with a couple of new things.
Cool! I plan to join the open mic this week and sing some transportation advocacy themed piano songs 🙂
I have a new-to-me retro charmer that I’d love to show off, just need to get motivated. Looks like the weather will cooperate, which is nice
