Friday location: Seven | 7:40 am – 8:45 pm
- Product Development: Met with Michael Lin of Greenwheel today. He brought by the latest generation of the electric assist wheel design. The new changes require some adaptation of the design on which I am working. The original deadline for this project was the end of February. So, the deadline just got pushed so that we can incorporate the new wheel system and some other improvements – like the controller box that no longer is needed.
- Video Project: Met with Natalia B. and John L. today to talk about a Seven Cycles video project. Also working with Natalia on a Ride Studio Cafe video.
- Business Development: Had a meeting at Seven Cycles today where we worked on some inventory management. I love inventory because it’s so counter-intuitive I subscribe to the Toyota Production System view of inventory. It’s a complex conversation but, to me, the essence is: the more inventory you have, the less likely you are to have the inventory you want. It is true. More on this later.
- Words: The Honey Winterando and winter riding – it’s pretty darn good. Chip Baker explains.
- Product Launch: The latest design in the Honey Bikes world: The Cyclocross Utilty. We’ve already got a lot of interest in this bike. I think that’s because most ‘cross bikes are either full-on race bikes or touring bikes with knobby tires. A big gap exists between these two worlds: high performance riding but not overly twitchy race geometry.
