Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Community: Frame communications around shared experiences, group rides, and the joy of cycling together. Use inclusive language ("we," "us," "your community").
• •Inject Passion and Enthusiasm: Let genuine excitement for cycling shine through. Use vibrant, energetic language and emojis where appropriate (especially on social media).
• •Showcase Expertise, Don't Just Tell: Instead of simply stating you're experts, demonstrate it through detailed product insights, workshop tips, and trail knowledge. Reference the founders' pro backgrounds subtly.
• •Be Approachable and Welcoming: Avoid overly technical jargon where simpler terms suffice, especially when addressing a broader audience. Ensure the tone is encouraging, particularly for new cyclists.
• •Maintain a Consistent Visual and Verbal Identity: Ensure that the tone of voice in text aligns with the imagery used (e.g., photos of community rides, high-quality product shots, action shots). This creates a cohesive brand experience.
