Ahearne Cycles

Nestled between two biking greenways, Ahearne Cycles, hidden under a tree canopy on N Page Street, arguably one of the most iconic streets in Portland for those who know its rich history. The unassuming gray door hides a sea of knowledge, filet brazed frames, racks and handlebars. Memorabilia adorns every wall and corner in the shop, and Joseph’s colorful life experiences clearly shaped the space. Just like the pilot light flame that’s always on, his passion for what he does is everlasting. The stories he shared about his time in Ireland, Italy, and Alaska to name a few explained the tenacity he has for the bikes he build. In the grand tradition of bicycle craftsmanship, our protagonist blends classic design and building techniques with a unique perspective to craft truly standout bicycles. And to quote Joseph himself,

“In this, I see beauty.”
