i love how it says pdxfixed was "announced yesterday", not "created, developed, announced and peopled yesterday". hee hee.
^-- Yeah true. Gotta start somewhere. I imagine if it said 'some kids just started a website called …' no one would bother looking it up.
Glad Jonathan posted about it though, hopefully it helps the community unite a little here.
I added a pdxfixed.com shout out in my sig here at BF and roadbikereview.com

As usual there's a flame war in the comments section. Happens every time there's an article about track bikes on the street over at good old BikePortland.org
