We’re set up with a library strong enough to woo even the toughest literati. Ever heard of Rouleur? Paul Fornel? Boneshaker? We’ve got you covered. As for the practical minded reader we have a slew of “best ride” guides that will send you sailing through the roads of Oregon with a plan, a pack list, and a feeling of preparedness that’s hard to beat. Come in, grab a coffee or a burrito from next door and browse our bookshelf. Watch out. You’re going to want to ride.</p> <p>The Bookshelf:</p> <p>First things first. <em>Rouleur</em>. This fine publication features exquisite photography and muscular prose from the best journalists in the industry. Buying an issue of <em>Rouleur</em> is akin to investing in a piece of art, with their commitment to celebrating the drama and beauty of road racing. It’s timeless: a journal you can return to years later and still find relevant, insightful, and informational. This is the ultimate publication for anyone interested in cycling. I get giddy each time a new issue lands on our doorstep.</p> <p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2769"></a><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2770"></a><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2771"></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Boneshaker:</p> <p>A Portland and Bristol based publication that seeks to “create a considered, well-oiled publication that promotes a self-propelled life on two wheels, and to be an inclusive platform for your stories and artwork from around the world.” I’ll support that.</p> <p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2772"></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Velo by Paul Fournel</p> <p>So says the book jacket: “Velo is a unique look at the bike. Through a series of short essays, Paul Fournel beautifully evokes the experience and spirit of cycling…Paul Fournel is a writer, passionate cyclist,and president of the French avant garde writing group Ouilpo.”</p> <p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2773"></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Bicycling the Pacific Coast</p> <p>Do you live in Oregon? (Me too.) Do you ride your bike? Do you like to camp? If you answered yes to these questions, and you haven’t taken a tour down the Pacific coast, you better get going. There’s still summer left in the sky, and plenty of coastline to cover. Here’s the book you’ll want to bring.</p> <p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2774"></a></p> <p>75 Classic Rides Oregon: The Best Road Biking Routes</p> <p>This is the book everyone in the shop is fighting over, and if you come in and peek through the pages, you’ll see why.
