=I LOVE MY BIKE BOOK=

 MATTHEW FINKLE AND BRITTAIN SULLIVAN SPENT A LONG TIME TRAVELING TO MANY STATES AND EVEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO COMPOSE THIS PHOTOGRAPHIC LOOK INTO THE RIDER AND HIS OR HER BIKE. WE, HERE IN PORTLAND, WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SPEND A COUPLE OF DAYS WITH THESE GUYS AND DO PHOTO SHOOTS TO CONTRIBUTE.
VELOSHIP'S SANDY JONES WAS AMONGST PORTLANDERS WHO RODE OUT TO REP THE BIKE AND OUR SCENE AS PART OF THE TRUE BICYCLE AFFICIONADOS.
