This year, Team RC, is proud to have River City Bicycles as our sponsor.  River City Bicycles is located at 706 S.E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd in Portland, OR, one block north of the Morrison Street Bridge. 

River City Bicycles is owned and operated by Dave Guettler and Mark Ontiveros.  Dave has been in the bicycle industry for over 20 years. He started as a mechanic in Chico, CA, then co-owed a chain of 7 bicycle stores in the San Francisco Bay Area for 10 years before leaving to open up a single store in Portland that he could "...run as well as I could."  You should note that all of the counters, bike racks, and clothing racks at River City are hand-made by Dave from cherry wood.  His partner, Mark, has a long history in the clothing industry and is the reason River City has such an awesome clothing department.  He is also an avid roadie/commuter with a slight passion for state-of-the-art on two wheels.  Just ask…

River City Bicycles sells Bianchi, Calfee, Cannondale, Colnago, Electra, Gary Fisher, Gunnar, Intense, Klein, Lemond, Litespeed, Maverick, Merlin, Merckx, Redline, Seven, Specialized, and Waterford bicycles and framesets.  Road, Mountain, Track, Tandem, Tri, Cross, Commuter, Recumbant, Kids; you name it, they have it.  Componentry parts and kits from Campagnolo, Shimano, and SRAM.  Bontrager, Campagnolo, Lew Composites, Mavic, Shimano, and Zipp wheels or handmade wheels are all ready and waiting for your next ride.  Full, professional fitting services are available before you order that custom frame or to dial in the ride after you already have your dream bike.  Rain or shine, light or dark, the indoor  test track makes it easy to get the right bike.
