BUDNITZ BICYCLES NEWSLETTER: FAST, SIMPLE & BEAUTIFUL IN 2012
A brand new year has arrived and with it comes the potential for change.
I’m fairly well known for predicting social & lifestyle trends. The art of seeing what’s coming is behind the success of the many products and companies I create. It’s how I earn my living.
2012 marks the real start of a movement away from complication & clutter, and towards quality and simplicity. Here in Colorado (where we live most of the time), high quality smaller homes are for the first time outselling giant mansions at higher prices. Less is quickly becoming more in the culture at large. Politicians who fail to recognize this are beginning to suffer. Businesses too.
Many people assume that I make bicycles for environmental reasons, but that’s not exactly the case. Reality is that I began creating my own bikes when I couldn’t find anything that was well made, fast and especially beautiful — and that wouldn’t add clutter to my life. When you own less you have to raise the standards for what you buy, and you demand more from the things you own.
Buy one of our bicycles this year. They’re made by hand, they’re stunningly beautiful, and they weigh next to nothing. They roll so godd*mn fast that we actually had to adjust the gearing on our first production models because traditional gear ratios moved too slowly.
Even better, our bicycles don’t add anything you don’t need. In a way, they actually add less.
Less clutter, less driving, less worry. Much more fun!
Happy new year.
