Never has the name of this section been so appropriate.
I’ve been smoked out, literally.
If you’ve read the thread on the Australian fires this will be familiar to you but to spell it out: the winery for which I work is in one of the worst affected fire zones and the smoke residue in our grapes renders them unusable.
That’s my main source of income gone for an entire year. The upside is I now have more time to make bikes. If I can sell some bikes, I’ll get through this.
Since I’m crap at marketing, I’m appealing to salonistas to help me out here.
All suggestions welcome, help spread the word, get this out to potential markets, etc etc.
PS Yes, I asked the powers that be whether this would be OK before I posted.
