LAS VEGAS, NV (BRAIN)—Growth Cycle president Ray Keener will be signing up product sponsors at Interbike for a new consumer DVD, Ready to Pedal.
Subtitled Ride More, Drive Less, Here’s How! the new DVD will be available for sale to all IBDs beginning in November at a cost of under $2 each, with a cover price of $14.95. The product will ship in February 2009.
“The industry’s current healthy status is based on the growth of cycling for transportation,” Keener said. “We’re delighted to offer IBDs a topical new educational and inspirational product to keep the boom growing.”
A readytopedal.com Web site will include a dealer finder for all stores purchasing the DVD, links to advocacy organizations, Cateye’s worldcommute.com site, plus news and views to help cyclists up their level of involvement in transportation cycling.
