For one special night, the magical flavors, sounds, and sights of the famed Basque region of Spain are coming to Beaverton at Sunset Cycles NW. You may try and say Ez dakit euskaraz hitz egiten, but you won’t need to speak Basque well to enjoy the evening.

Sunset Cycles NW, known locally as "Beaverton's Bike Shop," is honored to be the sole distributor of Orbea bicycles in the Portland metro area and plan on celebrating this Thursday, May 17th, from 6 to 8pm. The public is welcome to join Sunset Cycle for an exclusive evening of the food, beverages, music, and bicycles inspired by the Basque region and the Orbea brand.

Come to Sunset Cycles in the Bethany Village and peruse Orbea's full line of bikes. From the hip "Carpe", a modern flat-bar commuter bike, the women-specific "Dama", to the beautiful "Orca," (we may even try to find gold chain like the one ridden by gold medal winner Samuel Sánchez). Guests will not only enjoy the bikes on display but will be sure to enjoy the selection of Spanish-themed snacks and beverages. Perhaps the Basque-influenced music will even inspire European travel planning...or at least the dreams of a continental vacation (The Vuelta is coming up August 18th and will probably run you a much lower bill than the Olympics in London). Come enjoy the bikes, food, drinks, and get your fill of talk of the Giro, California, and local rides.
