(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 [email protected].
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.
