Shut Up and Drink the Kool-Aid!

A little space for infrequent commentary on the bicycle industry- Marketing/PR, health, growth, advocacy, etc. The goal here is to educate, inform, share, ponder, question and hopefully giggle from time to time. The bicycle is one of the greatest inventions of all time and provides all kinds of potential for people around the world; come share it with us.
