Title
Weir's Cyclery - Portland, OR - Home
Description
Gordon Weir, an orphaned child, was only 15 years of age when he teamed up with P.C. Rodes in a small shop and started learning the repair trade. After serving a term in the military, Gordon returned to find that Rodes had sold the shop. Because Gordon was handy, well-mannered, and had the ability to work well with people, he was talked into starting his own business in 1925.
The building that Gordon occupied at that time contained a house, grocery, tailor, and, of course, Weir’s fix-it shop. Gordon fixed appliances, lawn mowers, plumbing, and always bicycles.
In the 1950s Weir’s growth came from the repair of cruiser bicycles used the local paper delivery boys. In 1953, Gordon’s son Ken came to the store to work with him. They agreed that the bicycle business was growing and decided to discontinue the lawn mower repair side of the business. Father and son shifted the shop to more of a bike-oriented store and concentrated on bike sales and service. In 1954, Weir’s started carrying airplane and car hobby items, and so the transformation to Weir’s Cycle and Hobby was complete.
