(BRAIN) — A list of crowd-funding campaigns to support members of the bike industry recovering from the January wildfires in the Los Angeles area. If you learn of more campaigns, please let us know at info@bicycleretailer.com.
Longtime industry journalist dropped a quick note to BRAIN on Thursday, and shared the photo of himself below. "The kind words & support that the bike industry has provided is not a reminder that we are family because I feel it in my blood & bones, the bike industry is simply a part of me...it's not anything that can be forgotten," he said.
