If you’re not excited about the Oregon Manifest Constructor’s Design Challenge yet, I have no other choice than to seriously question your love of bicycles.
Some of the most accomplished bicycle minds in the country have been working for months under shrouds of secrecy in their underground lairs to design and create the “Ultimate utility bike.” What exactly does that mean? That’s the fun part — How each individual builder and team defines that term will be one of the most fascinating things to watch for when the bikes are revealed Friday.
Will the entries include cargo bikes? Will anyone bring a folding bike? Will e-assist make an appearance? How will classic porteur-style bikes hold up against more innovative entries? Will one form of utility bike steal the show?

Greg LeMond, the Nevada-born bike racer who endeared himself to millions as the first American to win the prestigious Tour de France, is set to make an appearance in Portland this Thursday (9/22).
LeMond, who won the Tour in 1986, 1989 and 1990 and is now CEO of LeMond Fitness, will be in town to participate in the Hood River edition of the Echelon Grand Fondo which takes place this Saturday. Packet pick-up for the event is at West End Bikes (1111 SW Stark St) and event organizers say LeMond will be at the shop between 5:30 and 7:00 pm Thursday night.
Executive Director of the Echelon Grand Fondo Hunter Ziesing says LeMond was at their Palo Alto event last weekend and was, “a blast to be with.” “He’s personable (practically met every participant), very funny, and admittedly out of race shape, so come hang with him this weekend.”
