[ORRando] Velo Cult in town

[David Rowe]

Personally I would prefer to keep my cycling dollars  here in Oregon than sending them to New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maryland, which I so often do.

Welcome to Oregon, Sky. Looking forward to seeing your shop and greatly appreciate your generosity.

I'm not doing it to make him money (I could be starting the ride from the shop I work for), but because I like the idea of a starting place with parking, bathrooms, easy access for carfree and public transportation-using randos, and because we can hang out there after and enjoy the company of our fellow Randos in a welcoming space.

So far I've not offered this to anybody else, just you guys because I'm really into the Rando and the custom bike thing. Not doing this to profit off of you guys, just want to meet all of you and I would be fantastic for me if you guy's hung out at my shop. I will be stocking more and more rando stuff as I can afford it. We will be putting our 63' Rene Herse on display soon enough as well which you don't see everyday in shops.

But, let me know the parameters because I do plan to host some event's for specifically this group like party's and rando event's where you meet up at the shop and end at the shop with food and beers. If I can't tell you guys about it here I don't know how to go about this.
