Funniest feature is that the forkstay mounted headlight is right in the middle of where the right handlebar basket brace should go, so they factory-custom bent the brace on that side in a neat semi-circle around the light, continuing in a straight line once past that obstruction - wrecking the basket's potential load capacity as a result.

It's about bikes. Well, more than that...it portrays bicycle perspective incorporated into a culture and how that affects a lot more than just bicycles, actually. Anyway, at the end of its run in Portland, it is looking for a spot to relocate and there is a person, Mia Hansen, who thinks Tucson at that time of year with El Tour going on and all would be ideal. I think so, too. And if you agree, then you think so, too. It would be great to give our bicycle visitors as much bicycle stuff to experience as we can. They might leave town thinking we are more of a cycling community than we actually are. Mia can be contacted at miajhansen@msn.com and a note of support could go a long way with this.
