The best place to get holiday presents for your bike riding loved ones (including yourself) is the annual Bike Craft Fair. 


This year it's at Sandbox Studio and is 2 full days of crafty-goodness.  More details, check out the new Bike Craft website. 

Live the Revolution!

Sugar Wheel Works is throwing its 2nd Annual Live the Revolution benefit on September 16 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Ristretto Roasters. Sugar was born of the love for the hand-built bicycle wheels and its powerful ability to revolutionize rides, lives and communities.

The work begins with the small things. How the company operates is equally important as creating and building a quality wheel, which is why founder and owner Jude Kirstein is organizing a benefit for the second year that celebrates Portland’s love for bicycles and supports two great causes: the Bicycle Transportation Alliance’s Safe Routes to School educational program and a program in Gresham started by two teachers called Wheelz. 

Sure to be a good time, the event will feature a wheel changing contest, a photo booth through RM Photo and a raffle to give away some sweet gear! With all of that and all the proceeds benefiting programs to get kids on bikes, it's definitely a party you don't want to miss! A good cause is definitely a good excuse to party.

When: September 16, 2011 — 6:30-9:30 pm

Where: Ristretto Roasters — 3808 N. Williams in Portland

 

Can’t come to the event and want to pre-order your limited edition t-shirt? Email revolution@sugarwheelworks.com. T-shirt is $15. All proceeds benefit the Safe Routes To School Program and a program in Gresham started by two teachers called Wheelz. All T-shirts will be mailed for an additional $3 the week of September 5.

 

Support the growth of a healthy community. Be part of The Revolution.

This Truce won't last long.

I am just popping by the shop on my way to my sewing studio and then the Etsy/I<3Art/PNCA/MoCC all day craft party (where I'm leading the Mighty Ugly activity). And out of the corner of my eye I see something different on the Bike Craft Wall.

Looks just like any other day on the bike craft wall. 

"oooooh! Luke dropped off a new bag!" And this one makes me wish I'd worn my techier sport clothes so I could match.

But wait! That's a new Truce bag.

Red liner (and a teal pocket inside) are such a good combination.

One of my favorite functions is the "carry on" mode.
The shoulder straps tuck into the back so nothing's hanging loose and
you can carry it like a duffel bag.

We currently have two TRUCE backpacks in stock and this newest one is h-o-t.

Fresh stock of baggage works

We are so fully stocked on bags for your bicycle riding pleasure. All pictured are locally made by a variety of small bag making companies. From saddlebag tool rolls (made by yours truly) to grocery panniers, and three styles of backpack, three style of hip pouch and now small duffels, our local bag making posse is well represented at A Better Cycle.

Come to C Bar on Saturday, May 21st to learn some basic bicycle maintenance!
