Pedal Nation bike show descended on the Convention Center this weekend, showcasing the regular crowd of Portland bike business and giving bike nerds the chance sit in on lectures from Portland's bike literati (Mia Birk, Joe Kurmaskie) and, of course, view the latest in custom alcohol-transportation technology.
