Within the facility there is a public bicycle repair workspace and a bike machine-shop for the design and manufacture of special-purpose bikes, particularly cargo bikes and recumbents. There is also a bike museum on site, a bike rack building workshop, a sewing facility and the publishing offices of Oregon's only cycling magazine, ''Oregon Cycling''. CAT is also home to Pedaler's Express, a pioneering workbike-based delivery service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alternative Education )〕 == History ==
To create the center, VanderTuin gathered the founding core group, which included bicycle retailer and activist Kurt Jensen, writer and racer Jason Moore, Bowerman, and ''Rain Magazine'' editors Greg Bryant and Danielle Janes. Bryant was instrumental in bringing ''Oregon Cycling'' into CAT, and obtaining non-profit status. CAT opened its doors to the public on November 20, 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CAT )〕 Within a few years CAT and ''Rain Magazine'' were no longer partners, and by 1995 the emphasis turned to youth education when CAT began contracting with local school districts to work with youth in need of a hands-on education.
