Bike shop owner now delivers Christmas trees, firewood
Edwin Skaug at your service
Edwin Skaug — owner of SE Portland based bike shop, A Convenient Cycle — has found a way to stay busy during the slow winter months. He is now offering Christmas tree and firewood delivery.
Here’s more from his website:
Trees are approximately five feet tall and will cost $35. Delivery area ranges from Downtown to E 52nd Avenue, between Division and Everett Avenues, Woodstock neighborhood. Delivery areas may vary due to winter weather conditions and other seasonal factors.
Edwin says he’ll deliver trees until December 22nd. He’s also putting his big Dutch cargo trike to work to deliver seasoned firewood throughout the winter season. $10 will get you a bundle delivered right to your door.

When 30-year-old Edwin Skaug realized convenience stores aren’t exactly convenient for people who ride bikes (they typically lack bike parking and they don’t sell any bike essentials), he figured he’d open one up that was. The result is his new business — A Convenient Cycle.
