Coffeeneuring 2022, Rides 6 and 7: Houston!

One of the things that I try to do with each Coffeeneuring Challenge is "make it spicy". I like to do a ride or three that's different than my others. The easiest way to make it spicy is by doing a ride in another location that's not Portland. Doing it in another state, and especially...

Bikes and Film Cameras Ride: Black and White, Sat 11 Feb 2023

Bikes and Film Cameras Club

Hello folks! It’s time for another Bikes and Film Cameras Ride. Since it’s winter, the theme is Black and White.

Do you love shooting on film? 35mm, medium format, instant, you name it. This ride is to celebrate this once thought dead format. Dust off your old Minolta SR-T 101, pump up the tires on your Raleigh Superbe, and come along with us for a 10-ish mile cruise. We’ll stop by several spots good for documenting on film.

This is a casually paced ride with many stops, no one left behind. Ride start location TBA, but will be in central Portland accessible by transit.

Also: it is perfectly OK to bring film/camera related things to share, trade, etc. In fact, it’s ENCOURAGED! I’ll be bringing some…

The premise, as always, is the same: An approximately10 mile casual bicycle ride (not...

The last sale? 20% off zines through Friday December 2nd

Hello folks. Over the years I've struggled to price my goods and services accordingly. I want to have a price that is fair to the energy I put into making things but also fair to the buyer. I've generally erred on underpricing things. This is due to a couple factors: The punk-rock zine scene I...
