Is Portland, Oregon the Best City for Bikes in the Country?

“Other businesses incorporate and serve bicycle-based lifestyles—like Apex Beer Bar, where numerous bike racks are filled each evening by pedaling patrons, a bike shop called Velo Cult that serves beer (and which recently held a workshop teaching the yin-yang relationship of yoga and cycling), a pizza place that delivers by bike and a smoothie vendor called Raw Potential that operates out of a bicycle trailer.”

This was a pleasant surprise!  Too bad we don't have smoothies or operate out of a trailer...

Three new bike-based businesses spring up

“Raw Potential is a new food business based on a Bullitt cargo bike. The owner, Jeffrey Schoenfeld, makes snacks and drinks that are non-dairy, vegan, organic, and raw. From what I’ve heard (from our friends at Splendid Cycles who sold him the cargo bike), his almond and macadamia milk is fantastic.”
