It’s been called the most noble of all human inventions. No, not the mural; it is the bicycle. Bikes are at the center of all the activities at the Center for Appropriate Transport (CAT) and it’s there that you can see the mural pictured below.
This mural is another work by the talented artist Kari Johnson that’s located on the side of the CAT building at the corner of 1st Avenue and Washington Street.
The CAT is an amazing organization that houses Eugene Bicycle Works, Peddlers Express, Human Powered Machines, Eugene Rack Works and also Education & Youth Programs. The CAT describes itself as:
“… a non-profit organization committed to community involvement in manufacturing, using, and advocating sustainable modes of transportation. The first organization of its kind, the Center was founded in Eugene, Oregon in the fall of 1992. Since that time, we have established a number of projects under one roof designed to further this mission.”
The CAT is also one of my favorite places in Eugene.
