Lightbox-photos

Mark your calendars!   On Thursday October 27, 2011 Vulture Cycles will be hosting  the first annual "ride to Vulture Cycles open house"   Meet at the Kayak Flowers sculpture at the Bend Parks and Rec. parking lot at Farewell Bend Park at 2:30pm.  You will need a bike you are comfortable with riding in gravel, as we will be taking the "back way" to the  Vulture Cycles shop.  The ride to the shop will be aprox. an hour and at the shop we will have refreshments and I will talk a lot. Depending on how long we refresh and talk,  you may need a light.   We will then ride back to town together.

I just got back from attending the Oregon Manifest in Portland, had a great time with Team Metrofiets. We didn't win, but my friend Tony did, and my other friend Rob got second place. Yeah, boys. They should call it the Portland Man-Fest. In cyclocross news, Team Boneyard has had a great showing at all 5 cross races we have had in end so far. Everyone is stoked about their bikes, now it is time to move on up to the Cross Crusade. You should be looking forward to the Oregon Handmade Bicycle Show here in BENDOR at the end of October, vamos a disfrutarnos por dia de los muertos!

VULTURE CYCLES is wrapping up manufacturing a run of cargo bikes in collaboration with Metrofiets in Portland. They're kinda like the pickup truck for cyclists. They are good for transporting friends, beer, items from yard sales, and buckets of nuts and bolts. What kid doesn't wanna ride this thing to the next party in the woods?

I pulled myself away from the shop for one day and went to Oakridge to ride with my buddies. Yeah! Bunchgrass, what an epic trail, primative and burly, but it is cool because it gets easier as you go, and finishing off with Heckletooth always makes me stoked. No matter what, after a day of riding these trails, my switchback skills were forced to improve. Check out whats happening in OR OR  http://www.fatfiftyfive.com/. Thanks to Chris, Jerry, and Eugene for the ride and many thanks to Kate and Liz for the help and rad food.

It will be my first time, seems like I should have been by now since I have lived in Oregon for 13 years. Here's whats up with the pics; Blue road bike for Paul Racers, Boneyard Bikes in all in a row, Aaron 29ster 2X10 and some fun for the 4th of July. I had my cargo bike equiped with coolers and a little propane weber grill. I cooked up some chicken and hot dogs on the the freedom ride. We finished up the day from the top of Pumice Butte where we could see Prineville, Bend, Redmond, Redmond and the pirate fireworks displays. Happy Weekend to you!

And I will be there for a couple of days. I will be delivering a stack of cargo bikes then attending the CARGO BIKE ROLL CALL so I can get my cargo bike geek on. What to wear, what to wear?  Here is a fun shop pic. Sometimes I just take a pic of the things I see in everyday life. These are essentials yet they don't often call attention to themselves. Please enjoy your weekend.

I have started building bikes for Boneyard Cycling...with some help from the team.   These will be 8 race specific cross frames and they couldn't be for nicer folks who happen to like drinking great local beer.

About the bike: it's a collaboration with Metrofiets. I'm building some production units and had to have my own...modified for my rural taste. What do you think?
