Forgive the rant here. I have no patience for the vandalism of property, for any reason.
I just saw an email from ICI/PRO member and studio owner Charles “Spook” Hilgartner that includes this picture from outside his InSync Cycling Studio.
Some idiot tore down his sign – pathetic.
Spook has poured his heart, sole and a bunch of money into his studio. If you have a minute please go over to his site and Like is Facebook banner on the right hand sidebar to show your support.
While you are there you may want to check out the app he's providing for his members – pretty cool 🙂

Sorry for your trouble spook.
Hey do you by any chance teach to video in your studio? I’d like to start hearing from Studio owners on their views of virtual classes both live and coached.
