Hi, this is Rix Quinn. For over 15 years I worked with my Dad Bill on the original Bicycle Business Journal. It began in 1946 - way before I was born - and we quit publishing in 1996.

Today, I'm really excited that John Barous is bringing back Bicycle Business Journal in a 21st century format! I plan to contribute some columns to BBJ, discussing two things that were very important to Dad: (1) helping retailers share great business tips with each other and (2) helping all segments of this great industry grow.
