Oregon Handmade Bike Show

The Oregon Bicycle Constructors Association (OBCA) is pleased to announce the 2009 Oregon Handmade Bicycle Show (OHBS), to be held over Halloween weekend, Saturday October 31st and November 1st, 2009, in the Staver Locomotive Building. Bicycle parking is available at the location. Please enter from 30^th for bicycle parking. Plan your trip using bycycle.org (http://www.bycycle.org/). Take Tri-met, the #77 line drops off within two blocks of the Staver Locomotive. And yes, on street parking is available.

First Thursday event will feature up-and-coming bike builders

The show, hosted by the StepChange Group (500 NW 9th Ave.), is the brainchild of StepChange director of technology Michael Jones. Jones is a web developer who you might remember as the guy who created the (now defunct) stolen bike listing tool, Finetoothcog. He’s also co-founder of the Unicycle Bastards and helped get Portland’s Ghost Bike movement off the ground.
