For those of you interested in putting a bicycle part or complete bicycle into production – you might be interested in following our project on Kickstarter where we are launching a revolutionary new cruiser bicycle and putting the future in the hands of our fans, friends and enthusiasts!
A little background - Some of you know that seven years ago we started a niche cruiser bicycle, parts and accessories Internet company called Cycles U.S. About 4 years ago, with the prodding of many people in the industry who were impressed with many of our proprietary products, I designed a couple of unique bicycles that, due to economic reasons, I have been unable to launch despite what was extremely high market interest and pent up demand.
We were just approved by Kickstarter (a ‘crowdfunding’ platform for creative projects) to promote the manufacturing of the first production run of these revolutionary bicycles on their platform. We would like to post our progress on a regular basis for everyone to follow. Overall the process is set up to take 30 days start to finish. I was thinking that if any of you were thinking about trying something like this on your own for a unique part or bicycle design that you have created, that our process and story might be of interest.
In addition, if you really like our new cruiser than of course we invite you to support our project and tell all your friends about it too! If we fall short of our goal then we get nothing. So we truly appreciate any support you would like to give us and thank you in advance for helping us out!
Please take a look and let us know what you think of the bicycle!

(sorry for the cumbersome link – if it does not work by clicking on it then it is probably best to cut and paste it into a browser window)
So if there is interest I would be happy to post our progress every day as well as introduce the bicycle and some of its unique features - let us know!
