E506 – Gladys Bikes Passes The Torch
photo courtesy of Gladys Bikes
Leah Benson was the proprietor of the iconic Gladys Bikes shop on Portland, Oregon’s Alberta Street. Cassie Hidalgo is the new owner! We chat with them about the shop, the transition from one era to another, and whether artisan jello shots will be the next can’t-get-enough trend out of Portland. As always, visit the shop and its exquisite saddle library (among many other things) at 2905 Alberta Street! Read Leah’s post about her departure and Cassie’s introductory post on the shop’s website.
Thanks to our nationally recognized “top beer bar in Oregon” beverage sponsor, The Beer Mongers, and, as always, thanks to our generous Patreon donors that keep us going!
