if you could get that together and actually get executives(not the average large business worker who may already have the need for a bike and have the mentality to see its benefits)
to come into a workshop and get greasy, i would commend you. in a lot of ways people have an antiquated view of class struggle, there is a need now to effect change on all levels. i would love to see executives get rid of their hummers that almost run me over.

Seriously, I might start a business hosting bike building for corporate executives. It could make the world a better place, especially my world, where I need to make money to support my special needs daughter. Let the Marxists and deconstructionalist sneer and give condescending remarks. I do not care. If a sense of self righteous self satisfaction makes you ride harder or faster, go ahead! Here, Ill get you started, I WEAR DOCKERS! Go to town!
How much should (could ) a person charge to help a bunch of CEOs get along well and build some bikes? Sounds like a nice way to spend the day to me, Art
I took my daughter out for a ride today. Nice Winter ride, Ohm Shanti Shanti Shanti snow
