Rose City Fix

Rain/Rose City Fix is a photography project started by Photographer Brenton Salo and Designer Aaron Edge in the fall of 2007. The long time friends have worked together on various music and art projects for a decade and were ready to start project centered around cycling. They decided to put together a book of photographs featuring fixed gear cyclists and their bikes. On a rainy day in January of 2008 they and over 65 Seattle cyclists along with their bikes crammed into a small studio on Capitol Hill for photoshoot. A few months later, after many hours of editing and designing they self-published Rain City Fix. Brenton and Aaron both felt that Rain City Fix was just the beginning and they soon decided to begin production on a second book featuring cyclists and bikes in Brenton’s hometown of Portland, Oregon. Brenton spent over a year year photographing fixed gear riders in Portland, their bikes, and the city. The photos have been compiled into a book called Rose City Fix.

Rose City Fix was released on August 15, 2009. To celebrate the release Rose City Fix teamed up with Go Means Go and Pedal Consumption to throw a bike event and book release party.
