We presented our Spring/Summer ‘10 Pedal Collection at the Interbike tradeshow this past September.
Bike World News recently posted a review of our cycling-specific shoes, bags and socks. Our new Spring/Summer ‘10 pedal styles will be available in January 2010.

Every Friday we have a bagel breakfast for the entire office. This Friday we did something a bit different…raising $2,000 for charities near and dear to KEEN employees.
Last week, six librarians (who are huge KEEN fans) from Washington County Cooperative Library Services came by to visit us. Watch this short video to hear what they have to say (and sing!) about libraries.
They even made us a wonderful thank-you poster . . .
We hosted our friends from Zappos.com at KEEN today and wanted to start the morning off with a Portland-style commute to work.
PDX Pedicab met us at the Governor’s Hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon.

Have you always been curious about starting your own business? Are you looking for work after being laid off or caring for family? Are you retired but not finished working? Or did you recently graduate? This panel of entrepreneurs has been there (and is there) and has advice for you.
With unemployment over 12% in Oregon, many talented people are exploring their entrepreneurial urges and developing a healthy curiosity about starting their own business. With any venture, it helps to get advice from folks who have ‘been there, done that’ and are willing to share their hard-earned wisdom.
The Zimmerman Community Center (ZCC) presents a panel and moderator composed of seasoned business owners and founders who are generous with their advice and expertise. Randy Miller will moderate panelists Michelle Cairo (In the Black), Robin Jones (88 Inc.), Otto Papasadero (Marto Consulting) and Sarah Shaoul (Black Wagon). Panelists will answer questions from the moderator and from the audience.
ZCC will have resources that serve small business and start-ups available.
WHEN: NOVEMBER 3, 2009 from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
WHERE: KEEN at 926 NW 13th Ave. #210 Portland, Ore.
COST: This event is free and open to the public. Invite those you know with the same or similar questions for where ever they are in their life and career.
To accommodate ZCC guests, we recommend that you RSVP to nancy@zcommunitycenter.org or by calling 503.224.4636.
