About Michael McGettigan

One of the greatest values of a properly working bicycle is its ability to. So much technology blocks us from experiencing what is right in front of us. On a good bike ride (whether minutes or days long), we are connected to the weather and geography of a place, our fellow riders, and the people and buildings we roll past. Over the past decade-plus, it\'s been a pleasure to sell thousands of bicycles to all sorts of people. Among my new goals are to arrange a number of events this year; some related to cycling, others in completely different areas including writing, co-working and communications.\'

Experience

1. Director

   Trophy Bikes Inc

   Jan 1998 — Present · Philadelphia, PA, US

   Trophy Bikes considers all bicycling as travel. We work to put you on the right bike for a trip to the store, or around the world, or around the race track.As we move into a post-petroleum age, the bicycle may become even more important as a personal transport solution.The bicycle also offers a way out of our always connected times. Riding a bicycle, you \"experience the city and landscape flowing past as bodily sensations.\" You also are connected to your first youthful adventures in a way that never fails to satisfy.Helping people to recapture those first feelings is a great job of work.
