Opinion - Thinkers, Tinkerers, and Inventors
I think it is funny that PinkBike would publish this article. I'm one of those Thinkers who decided to take the topic of mountain biking and put it into a format that has never been done before - a book of fictional short stories. I called this book Twisted Trails. I wrote it, published it and one of the first things I did was contact PinkBike to see if they would like to post the announcement or review it. They said, "This is not the typical content that we cover."
I thought, well, they don't really know me. I need to prove myself. So, I marketed the book to mountain bikers across the world, sold hundreds of copies, earned 5 star reviews and won a National Book Award. Then I wrote back to PinkBike to tell them of all its success. I figured that when they found out that mountain bikers are loving this book, they would want to share it with their readers. Their response, "Like we mentioned prior, it's just not our typical content." Really?
In the above article it says that, "the cycling world isn't exactly rife with fresh ideas lately." No kidding? Maybe that is because when someone brings forth a new idea PinkBike shuts the door in their face. Thanks guys.
