Manage episode 381583039 series 3417760
I can't believe I got to Episode 75 before doing anything on bicycles! But we went big - Tony Karklins, CEO of Time Bicycles and Cardinal Cycling Group, joined us for a great discussion of my favorite sport!
Tony digs into:
- His own background and how he got to be where he is - including owning his own bike shop as a teenager!
- Why pretty much all bike making went to Asia back at the beginning of the century
- How Europe has already gotten a start on bringing bicycle manufacturing back - especially Portugal
- Why he's bullish on his prospects for bringing some of that production back to America
- Where he thinks the bike making hot spots for the US will be
- What can be made here and what can't
- His growth plans for the Time Bicycles brand
