Bikes Grand Opening: Bike Farm

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, May 13 at 2:20 PM

It’s supposed to hit 90 degrees this week (!), meaning bike season for even the fairweather fans is right around the corner. Right on time to start catering to the higher number of pedaling people on the roads is Bike Farm (1303 NE Roselawn), a bike repair collective that is having its grand opening this Saturday from 11 am-6 pm, a block party with beer, bands, food, and workshops. Operating on membership fees ($50/yr, $20/mo, $5/hr, or $100/lifetime), the space provides easy, cheap access to tools and bike repair education in a relaxed environment—there’s a profile of the founders, and their mission, on BikePortland.org. They hope to expand quickly to a more permanent location and more hours (they’re only open Sat-Mon out of the gates), so if you’re into what they’re trying to do, now’s the time to show your support.
