PORTLAND, OR - Another quickie from Mini-Bike Winter IV. This time it's a chariot battle in an abandoned building. I am going to bring it down to ACME Food and Drink for IT Night. Tonight's theme: Post-Apocalyptic.

PLANET EARTH, - Here is the inspiring adventure of Tim and Cindie Travis, an ordinary American couple who decided to live out our dreams. They saved their money, quit their jobs, sold their possessions, and set off to travel around the world by bicycle.

It's a wind blown and rain soaked comedy series from the hipster streets of counter culture Portland, Oregon.

Alternative transportation, alternative lifestyle, alternative tv.

Come along as Dan visits the cast and crew on set.

PORTLAND, OR - Things got a bit dodgy at Miz Kitty's Parlour last Saturday when the Vanillatown Vaudvillians brought out the super-ultra extended unicycle and juggling clubs.

Let the Games Begin and enjoy just a bit of Friday and Saturday's MBWIV festivities! For more information visit zoobomb.net and stay tuned for more coverage from CrankMyChain! Cycle TV.

We're ready to roll with the new theme music and opening credit sequence for Mini-Bike Winter. Our man-on-the-street interviews show the johnny q is ready too! Shout out to the Last Regiment of Syncopate Drummers for the Rhythm. Visit ZooBomb.net for more details.

PORTLAND, Ore - Notice to all track racers: you have just enough time to prepare for the May 12th Eric Kautsky Memorial race at the Alpenrose Velodrome.

Races are scheduled for women and men in categories one through five and for masters and juniors.

Proceeds benefit the Eric Kautsky Memorial Scholarship Fund at Tigard High School. Eric Kautsky was a dedicated husband, father, teacher, and coach who had his life cut short after being hit by a sleeping driver. Team Rose City, his cycling club, is sponsoring the event along with River City Bicycle, Veloforma Racing Bicycles, Hincapie Sportswear and CrankMyChain! Cycle TV.
