Today we’re shining the light on , a recent Cycle Quest sponsor, and continued supporter of the Community Cycling Center! Dero’s bike racks, shelters, and repair stations contribute to an ever-growing cycling infrastructure that makes riding and owning a bike more accessible. Beyond sponsoring our mission, their staff regularly extends their volunteership to lift up our work. Our very own Board Chair Paul works at Dero, and can be found in our bike shop regularly lending a hand wrenching on bikes, helping customers, and offering behind the scenes strategic support.

When we asked Dero why they choose to support the Community Cycling Center, their message was simple, “With shared belief that bikes create stronger, healthier, and more connected communities, Dero is proud to support the Community Cycling Center. Their work to break down barriers to cycling and make bikes accessible to people of all backgrounds directly aligns with our mission to make bicycling part of everyday life."

Thank you, Dero!

With more than 100 riders, a new Cycle Quest champion crowned, and over $17,000 raised in support of broadening access to bikes, this year’s Cycle Quest was the best yet! We could not have done it without you– the riders, volunteers, and our amazing sponsors make this a real community event. THANK YOU!

We had such a fun time watching everyone lean into the silliness of this event and fully commit to our carefully crafted day of shenanigans. From climbing out of North Portland’s Dog Bowl park without shifting, to getting absolutely soaked in the Salmon Street Fountain. Beyond to the Aerial Tram high about the South waterfront, and all of the literal obstacles in between, riders’ spirits were high the entire time.

5 cool things from a lap around the bike shop this week!

1. Original Quickbeam! This bike is now for sale after getting some TLC. Priced at $1,100 - "beausage" included.

2. Vintage Campagnolo jersey - the long sleeves might be a little warm for summertime aperitivo but perfect for early morning espresso.

3. Very cool frame swap in the stand. Customer is going from a Makino to a Soma Rush for some added tire clearance and cargo practicality. We're excited to see how this one turns out!

4. Carl's parking lot tomato plant is looks to be almost ready to be harvested!

5. A full-suspension Bianchi??? Who will rise to the challenge of building this up? Priced at $150.
