During the weekend, I attended the Sea Otter Europe. The Ocisport squad led by Albert Balcells did their utmost to offer the most superb edition so far, given the pros and cons of the location. Figures will come up today to be analyzed under the magnifier, but I also think that some other considerations should be kept in mind: - People want bikes. Many end users walk/ride up and down, trying, testing, discussing, enjoying, and feeling bikes. - Bike makers and brands took nothing for granted and joined the event to prove that they are alive, that they keep innovating, and that, against all odds, they will go down fighting. The pain remained in the backstage. - The Sea Otter Europe Connect was a brilliant proposal thanks to which I was able to attend some conferences given by the sharpest minds in the international bike industry panorama. A huge opportunity for me to learn and network, - The dichotomy of professional and/or end consumer-focused events is on the table. Can they share the same scenario? Should they? - Thinking of the new market/society trends that will make urban/trekking/multi-purpose bikes become the new cornerstone of our future, an MTB testing facility in a dirt area seems to be out of focus. At least partially. - The upcoming events will have to reconsider a lot of things starting with location, setup, soil, addressee, comms, proposal, purpose, etc. - Physical events are needed, given our human condition. Standalone, hybrid, along with other formulas? We need to find out in that changing landscape #events #seaottereurope #bikes #survive #fight

So What is Boneshakerbike

I say: a race at 200 people is mostly about the course. A race at 20,000 people is basically a festival and a brand activation where people leave for an hour or a few. Course dynamics don't substantially change with growth until you're bottlenecking your route, aid stations, supply flow, finish line flow, etc. Traffic impact, EMS impact etc may, sure - but a race is still a certain density of people moving from point A to point B over a relatively predictable X time (variable to speed of start line clearing). This is an oversimplification, but how much? How do you scale your staffing to account for this? And perhaps most importantly for our middle market, what are the simple ways to make a 200 or 2,000 person race feel like a 20,000 person race festival? Is this always ideal? I often feel like people think race professionals are no good in other events, but having worked from catering and bartending up to weeks-long festivals and massive conferences, I think that successful race professionals have the ability to do almost everything that most event professionals do, but faster. If anything, we might get bored at the slow pace ;) Maybe I'm biased. At some point, though - I think it's important to consider bringing in other event professionals who may be as valuable in niches of your racing events as they would be in their own types of events. Maybe they'll help crack that question. #racedirecting #racedirectors #eventmanagement

💡 Nordic inventions - S2E2 💡 In this episode, we explore an iconic Nordic innovation that brings joy and excitement during the snowy season: the Finnish kicksled. A unique blend of tradition and modern sporting, the kicksled has transformed the way we enjoy winter activities. Historically, the kicksled originated in the snowy regions of Scandinavia as a practical means of transportation during harsh winters. This simple yet effective vehicle, dating back to 1909, was primarily used for traversing snow-covered landscapes with ease. The original design was a testament to Nordic practicality featuring a simple frame, a seat, and long runners for gliding over snow. However, the true innovation in kicksled design occurred in the late 20th century, when it became a beloved winter sport equipment. One of the first significant distributions of the modern kicksled can be traced back to the Finnish company E. S. Lahtinen Oy established in 1928. They were pioneers in recognizing the kicksled's potential beyond a mere mode of transportation.  The modern kicksled, while maintaining its classic form, has incorporated advancements in materials and engineering, making it lighter, more durable, and suitable for competitive sports. The kicksled has become a symbol of fun in the winter. It is a delightful way to explore snowy landscapes, whether for leisure or as part of organized sporting events. The kicksled races, now a popular winter sport in Nordic countries, showcase the competitive and communal spirit that this invention has fostered. #NordicInnovation #Kicksled #WinterSports #CulturalHeritage #Patent #PatentRenewal #IP

👋 It’s Friday and time to reflect on the past week. ☝️ Remember: While we are often exposed to many valuable learning opportunities, our brain 🧠 is like a muscle, which needs training impulses for further development. 📝 Today I want to talk about one of my passions beside learning and technology: cycling! 🚴♀️🧘♂️ Cycling is not just a physical activity, it's also a mental one. It's a time to reflect, to challenge yourself, and to grow. And what better way to do that than by combining cycling with mindfulness? 🤔 That's what I learned from a colleague, Christian Fleck, this week, who shared his idea about a mindful cycling retreat. It got me thinking about the power of reflection and how important it is to take time for ourselves to grow and develop, both physically and mentally. 🚀 If you are a cycling enthusiast and you like Spain 🇪🇸 as a country, then I have a recommendation for the end of October to join a cycling retreat in Girona: For more information, follow the instructions in the post below. 💡 Remember: Cycling is not just about the destination, it's about the journey. So take in the sights, breathe in the fresh air, and let your mind wander. Who knows what insights you might gain? #mindfulcycling #enjoytheride #growthmindset #innovationleadership #elevateweekly #elevate2023
