2017 Portland Handmade Bike Show

We had a great time at the 2017 Portland Handmade Bike Show. Thanks to our friends over at Portland Made, we set up a lounge of Venn chairs, sitting cushions, and floor pads for the attendees of the show. It was a fortuitous happening, as our cycling shoe project has been coming along nicely and it was high time to share more broadly with everyone.

An early visitor was Jonathan Maus of BikePortland.org who wrote an awesome piece on our shoes. We are excited to bring you a follow-up installment in the coming weeks when we make Jonathan a pair of shoes and give a better look behind the scenes.

Thank you to everyone who came out and tried on shoes or sat on chairs!
