My ride with Hindsight

If you didn’t see that post, check it out before you read on and take a look at the Cerevellum website to familiarize yourself with the concept.

An intro of sorts
Okay, since this is my first post, I probably should start with some sort of an introduction. I am a product designer, but I do not work in the bicycle industry. I design home decor products, which is generally a fun job. That said, you might be wondering, why am I starting a blog about…
