Raging Fire Near BicyclingHub.com

Fire rages near headquarters of BicyclingHub.com. On September 8th, 2008 a fire engulfed the Empire Rubber building next to our office. It was a gentle reminder that insurance is a good thing and one should cover the full value of one's inventory. Luckily, there wasn't any smoke damage to the building or any of our clothing. In the enclosed picture, BicyclingHub.com is the building to the left of the building on fire.

Portland Oregon Residents Trade Your Shorts For Bibs and Save 15%

Are bibs more comfortable than shorts? Many riders
prefer the feel and comfort of bibs to regular cycling
shorts. Pro and serious riders tend to prefer bibbed
shorts over non-bibbed shorts, due to the discomfort
that often occurs with an elastic waistband, such as
tightness (digging into skin) and chafing. Bibs help
both the pad and the waist stay in place.

To tempt you in to trying bibs BicyclingHub.com is
offering a special promotion in which you can trade in
your old cycling shorts for 15% off a brand new pair
of bibs. Currently, we stock 33 different types bibs
including 5 different pairs of bibs for women. (See

Opsal Sport Jersey and Brian Opsal Art Show In Portland

On Friday, June 27th, Bicycling Hub proudly presents an evening of Opsal's original mixed-media artworks based on his heroes of the sport, riders like Bernard Hinault, Eddie Merckx, Fausto Coppi and more. Join us for an evening celebration of food, fun, drinks and art.

In 2004, artist Brian Opsal produced his first cycling art print, creating an image based on the European cycling classic Paris-Roubaix. From this first piece, titled "The Hell of the North", Opsal went on to produce a series of prints inspired by the famous bicycle races from around the globe.

From there, Opsal combined his graphic passion into wearable clothing designs.Transcending the boundaries of traditional sports apparel, Brian then created OPSAL SPORT as a design-driven, sports lifestyle brand inspired by art and fashion. BicyclingHub.com has recently added four of Opsal's jersey designs to our large selection of unique cycling apparel.
