EDITORIAL A CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM…
Tentatively I look ahead with a hint of optimism. I feel it creeping in. It’s there, and it appears to be happening more often. Whether it’s through conversation
or news submitted to the site. We appear to be on what I’m sure will be a path paved with both highs and lows. There is a lot going on behind the scenes. From safety measures to programs to getting
more people on bikes, the industry movers and shakers are continuously pushing. Funding is a big issue for many, but that doesn’t stop the driven, determined people of the bike trade. The wheels must keep turning. Things might look a little different from before, but change is often a must.
This month has been one of more anniversaries. I visited Bob Elliot & Co. to hear the story of how it all got started as they look back at the past 40 years. We also chat with Paul from Grinduro as they celebrate ten years.. With both iceBike* and COREbike under our belts, the year stretches ahead but the busiest seasons are about to come at us, all cylinders firing. Hosting the State of the Industry panel at iceBike* allowed us to have conversations about
where we are, where we’re going and what different sectors of the industry think about various topics. We touched on everything from sustainability to the future of our workforce. I look forward to having more open conversations. Until then, I continue to listen, learn and stay open to what’s happening in our industry. It’s been a genuine pleasure to connect with so many people already, and I hope to do more of the same through the rest of this year.
