A few weeks back we were joined on the ride by Ryan Hashagen who runs Portland Pedal Works located at 345 NW Everett St. I decided to end my ride at the shop which he affectionately calls an incubator for bicycle business ideas. From the conversation on our ride as well as visiting the shop it was evident to me how passionate Ryan is about bikes and the culture in the Portland area.
Included in his shop are a number of local bike related businesses that you have most likely seen around town. Included are Portland Pedicabs, Icicle Tricycles, and Portland Bicycle Rental/Tours. My favorite is the Icicle Tricycles which I have chased down a couple of times to enjoy an icy treat this hot summer. I encourage anyone to stop by and take a look at his shop or better yet catch a ride from one of the pedicabs or enjoy a treat from an Icicle Tricycle. As you can see our very own Mayor Sam Adams decided to enjoy their services for a ride around town with Eva Longoria earlier this month during their visit to the Left Bank Project to promote The Greenville Project.
For those of you Tweeters out there follow @Portlandpedals for more information. Normal contact to the shop can be made by calling 360-510-1818.
