Kevin and Nate, River City Cycles
Kevin and Nate worked on my bike and Bob trailer in Portland, Oregon. I asked a couple of bikers which was the best bike shop in Portland and they all recommended River City Bicycles 706 SE MLK Blvd, Portland Oregon 97214 Tel 503 233 5973 (www.rivercitybicycles.com). I also picked up a front pannier rack (Cold Springs) made by Old Man Mountain, a company based in Santa Barbara here. Have been after these for some time, they look the strongest things that I have seen so far for front wheel pannier bags and am hoping they will get me through Canada.
