If you ask me the question why do I ride, it's. . . Addicting. Accelerating. Drenaline. Freedom. Meditation. Therapeutic. Zen. The Stoke. How do you describe it? It's the good feeling you get after you're bombing down the hill. I get that rush. Get out rolling the wind in your hair, you feel And escaping into the mountains. Really I mean it's Cheaper than therapy and a lot cheaper than a cardiologist later down the road. I ride because it makes me really, really happy. Commercial real estate, technology sales, But it doesn't sort of feed my fire so to speak. So I grew up, I loved bicycles and then went into a career in real estate development for about 15 years. I managed a bike store. I'm an airplane broker. I'm a veterinarian. My regular job is a veterinarian for now. Before this I worked at a bike shop. My day job was product development in the beauty industry for the last 14 years and I actually left that behind to start this adventure. Biking has kind of been my life forever. And always looked at the possibility of trying to do something. Just never saw something that was really feasible. Honestly a low-capital way to get into cycling that seemed When this came along this was I mean it had my name on it. This is the kind of thing I want to align myself with because it, Velofix holds the same values as I do as a mechanic. I looked into buying existing bike shops and I could never I own a brick and mortar bike shop. I think Velofix can bring something to the table that's I just I love the idea. I love the fact that I get to be my own boss. The industry, especially My community is used to companies coming in and sort of disrupting the norm. Velofix is that disruptive model. And I think that this is where the bike industry is going. I just think everything's going toward convenience and the ability to service people better. And I think there's just this huge gap that exists. We're trying to fill that need. It's the convenience of it. It just made sense. Well Velofix to me is the solution. To me it brings service right to people's doors and they get what they want when they want it. My bike's broken. I want it fixed yesterday. Whether you're You just want to go out and have a good time riding your bike.
