CatEye offers custom computers for advocacy
BOULDER, CO (BRAIN) Feb 9, 14:41 MT—CatEye has created three custom computer designs for three bike advocacy groups: Bicycle Colorado, Bikes Belong and World Bicycle Relief.
In the past, CatEye has made custom computers for the Italian pro teams Mapei and Fassa Bortolo, the U.S. Jelly Belly and UnitedHealthcare teams and pro mountain biker Geoff Kabush.
The custom artwork is applied by hand in Japan to the Strada Wireless, CatEye’s most popular computer.
Bikes Belong will use the computers as fundraising incentives for its Tim Johnson's Ride on Washington event next month. World Bicycle Relief plans to use the computers in silent auctions at events around the country and as prizes for the top fund raisers at two big rides.
