The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children.

One Response to “Dutch Bike Co. Chicago”
As a customer who bought one of their Azor Secret Service bikes and had it shipped to me all the way here in Austin (ouch!), I’m really excited about their expansion. When it’s a little warmer, I’m going to do my best to get up there and see the new location.
Good luck guys!
