This Thursday, several bike companies based in southeast Portland will host a showing of Brian Vernor’s film We Just Work Here as part of the Oregon Manifest.
Portland Design Works, Ruckus Components, Showers Pass, and Tonic Fabrication will host the event which will also be a benefit for the Oregon Food Bank.
Dan Powell from Portland Design Works says they hope the event showcases the “spirit of bicycle entrepreneurship” that is alive and well in Portland. “As companies that contribute to the thriving cycling industry here in Portland, we hope to bring together a group of like minded people to share in a fun evening of local community and bicycle celebration.”

Reverend Phil’s “Door Prize” tall bike gets lit up
All lit up. (See video
of it below).
of it below).
Reverend Phil, a fixture on Portland’s bike fun scene, has added an bright new feature to his infamous “Door Prize” tall bike.
First, the bike is so named because its main frame includes an actual door off of a crashed-out Portland Police car. As if that’s not enough to attract attention, now Phil has wired up and attached a full set of flashing lights — also off of a patrol car.
Thankfully, he doesn’t have a siren hooked up. Yet.
Check out a short video of the flashers in action:
