And it's an angle/ ...See... this is good stuff. And it's an angle/ perspective that I frequently fail to remember when ranting about the show. I often forget that it isn't just "business" that gets done at the show, but advocacy and other support/ community work is getting done too. I fully agree with the awesometasticness of the face to face time as well. It's a big part of it for me too- it's the reunion of the tribe every year (I enjoy our yearly high-five). But it is the community/ advocacy element that I think is often overlooked by many- myself included, obviously. <br /><br />Interbike is a lot more than just a showcase for product and a chance for me to empty your wallet. I just hope we can find a way- as a collective industry- to make Interbike more meaningful and less of a burden. It's very expensive as a brand, and the return is not keeping pace with the expense. There are bugs to be worked out... and I sincerely hope that we do. Tim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656450355435181157noreply@blogger.com
