@bikepedantic my neighbor works for Amazon in Crystal City, and they just announced a program with Conte’s bikes that if you agree to bike to work, they will pay for an annual bike rental through Conte’s - anything up to a $7k road bike. Too bad the roads won’t be best in class…
@Will @bikepedantic the bike lease reimbursement has been in place for a while, just Conte's as an option is new. Previously the only offerings were direct with brands.
@bikepedantic @nikkid corporate America embracing bikes is unequivocally good , even if it offends one’s personal punk rock / never sell out sensibilities. Give me a thousand corporate deals between Deloitte and Trek/Specialized. You can still go curate a Crust bike in your spare time.
@bikepedantic @nikkid correct. I could also see them buying SOMA or some other brand with nice steel frames made in Taiwan. Probably they would need to find someone with at least a small presence in eBikes, which QBP has.
