Anyone that's into design or bicycling (or like me, both) has to check out this year's entries in the Oregon Manifesto.  The projects are so inspiring, I felt I had to repost it.  Thoughtful and surprising.

If you're familiar with design studios, you know these are some of the best in the country.  
Seattle - Teague  *winner*
Chicago - Minimal
NYC - Pensa
San Fran - Huge
Portland - Industry

Enjoy some brain candy.
