Saturdays errands included riding the bikes to Friends of the Ledding library plant sale in Milwaukie, and then to the Farmers Market in the courtyards of Portland State University. We like to support the library and since we got there late, all their plants were half price, and CD’s just 2.00 each!  The Portland Farmers market is a great place to get fresh and local supplies.  In this trip we were able for find some great cheeses, blackberry honey, crab meat, and vegetables.  We also spotted the Cafe Velo setup.  A coffee shop that arrives as a bike and expands into a coffee shop.  Its an impressive setup, but I am thinking I don’t want to pedal it up too many hills.

Rick Wilson, the guy who started a bakfiets blog back in 2006, has turned his passion for the Dutch cargo bikes into Café Vélo, Portland’s first bakfiets-based business. Wilson has just finished customizing his new, industrial-sized cargo bike and he plans to pedal it to the farmer’s market twice a week. It’s large enough to carry everything he needs to set up a booth to sell coffee drinks. You can catch Wilson at the Portland Farmers Market on Wednesdays (South Park Blocks) and Saturdays (at Portland State University).
