Portland is holding an event called Oregon Manifest at the moment. It's a six-week series of events celebrating "the art, craft and community of bicycling." Last weekend's design challenge asked bike makers from around the country to present the perfect commuter bike. Their innovations include lots of sturdy racks, saddlebags, and integrated locks (see photo). Check out pictures of the contenders at Core 77, BikePortland.org, and in this Flickr set.
