Pedal Bike Tours Debuts Handmade Local Bike Crafts
North Portland Storefront Provides An Outlet For Locally Made Bike Products
Just in time for the holidays, Pedal Bike Tours announces the addition of bike products, made in Oregon by local artists and craftspeople, to their shop in North Portland. As a hub for bike curious visitors, Pedal aims to provide a showcase for the ever-growing number of bike oriented products that Oregonians are creating, such as jewelry, clothing and art.
“Because of our bike sightseeing tours and rentals we get lots of visitors to Portland in our shop. Instead of a t-shirt from the airport we want people to be able to take home a bike themed souvenir made by one of our talented locals,” explains Todd Roll, owner of Pedal Bike Tours.
The rapidly expanding list of artisans and products priced as low as $3 includes:
Agent Ladybug’s Decycled Designs- Bike tube bracelets and more
- Waterproof messenger bags, backpacks, and panniers handmade in Portland
- Sterling silver pendants- reproductions of bike racing medals
- natural fiber active wear clothing with a deconstructed urban appeal
Gigi’s Handywork – Helmuffs- wooly ear covers that fit over your helmet straps made from recycled sweaters
- Armbands and chokers made from recycled bike inner tubes featuring hand cut designs
MMM Werk- Knickers reworked by hand made from recycled trousers
- Emphasizing common materials and the fundamentals of nature
- Handmade panniers and hip holsters
- Photo frames, clocks, key chains and more made from recycled bike parts
- Fun and clever greeting cards made locally on an antique press
Roll came up with the idea watching visitors from around the world roam the shop looking for souvenirs to take home. “We wanted to make these exceptionally creative and well made products available to locals and visitors alike year round.”
