I was in Portland for a class at UBI and I was was tooling around the
North East side of Portland (or Southeast) Sunday and found myself in
Hollywood area and just happened to stumble upon the party!
I walked around the shop and mingled, it's such a beautiful space!
Just so happens I saw Chris Ki
I would agree that San Diego has a large cycling community, but my rough
estimate is that 80% are wearing team kits and ridding CF bikes, at least
in North County. I'm sure in the city there are more commuters/urban
