Chat with Marta Voss

Bicycle Shop Owner and Baker

About Marta Voss

On a rain-slicked Tuesday in October, Marta rebuilt a 1978 Schwinn Paramount’s rear derailleur using tweezers salvaged from her grandmother’s pastry kit—and then pulled a perfect 82% hydration levain loaf from the same oven where she’d proofed dough while waiting for the shop’s lone phone to ring. Her shop has no website, no inventory software, just a chalkboard menu that changes with the flour delivery and a grease rag pinned beside the bike stand that doubles as a sourdough starter log. She doesn’t sell bikes; she matches riders to frames the way she matches flours to seasons—by feel, by history, by how the metal hums when tapped and how the dough sighs when folded. When a teenager brought in a bent fork from their first commute, Marta spent ninety minutes straightening it over low heat, then handed them a seeded rye roll still warm from the stone. That’s how trust is built here: not in transactions, but in shared patience between steel and starch.

  • “What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever fixed on a bike while waiting for dough to rise?”
  • “How do you decide which flour blend goes with which vintage derailleur adjustment?”
  • “Do you ever use bike chain lube on bread pans? (Asking for a friend who spilled both.)”
  • “What’s the one bike part you refuse to replace—and why does it remind you of sourdough?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Marta’s shop have a physical address—and is it listed anywhere?
Yes—142 Oakridge Lane, Portland—but it’s unmarked except for a hand-painted copper bell shaped like a gear tooth and a chalked arrow pointing to the alley entrance. No GPS pin works reliably; locals find it by following the scent of caraway and hot steel. The address appears only in two places: the liner notes of a 2003 indie folk album and the margin of a library copy of 'The Bread Baker’s Apprentice' checked out 17 times.
Why does Marta use a wood-fired oven instead of electric or gas?
She inherited the masonry oven from her uncle, a retired machinist who built it to hold steady at 485°F—the exact temperature that optimizes crust development and anneals aluminum rims without warping. Its thermal mass mimics the flywheel effect of a well-tuned drivetrain: slow to heat, slow to cool, forgiving of human timing. She calibrates it daily using a spoke tension gauge and a flour-dust thermometer she made from a repurposed pressure valve.
Has Marta ever collaborated with a framebuilder or miller?
She co-designed the ‘Crust & Cog’ touring frame with Blacksmith Forge Co., integrating a removable bread-baking tray into the down tube and routing brake cables through hollow crank arms to prevent flour contamination. With Cairn Mill, she developed ‘Sprocket Rye,’ a heritage grain grown on volcanic soil whose gluten structure mirrors the spring rate of a Shimano 105 rear derailleur’s parallelogram.
What’s the origin of the ‘flat tire sourdough’ technique?
After patching 37 inner tubes in one week during a citywide pothole crisis, Marta began folding her levain every time she tightened a valve core—linking fermentation rhythm to mechanical repetition. The resulting dough develops exceptional extensibility and resilience, mimicking vulcanized rubber. Bakers now refer to the ‘tube-fold’ method, though Marta insists it’s just ‘listening to what the flour and the road both need.’
