Most people who visit the Center for Appropriate Transport (CAT) are coming to use the bike shop, Eugene Bicycle Works. What many of them don’t know is that CAT also operates a number of other bike-related business projects such as Pedalers Express, Eugene Rack Works, Oregon Cycling Magazine and Human Powered Machines. These businesses and other projects of CAT will be on display at CAT’s Open House on Friday, June 13 from 3:30-6:30 PM. CAT is located at 455 W 1st Ave in Eugene, at the corner of 1st and Washington. Delicious refreshments will be served!

Students from CAT’s Alternative Education program will be on hand to explain things and answer questions, and the public will be invited to walk around and see how CAT operates. This event will be a good introduction to CAT for neighbors, local business owners and their employees, City staff and anyone who wants to know more about CAT’s programs. For old friends, former students, and others it will be a chance to see how CAT has grown and changed over the years.
