> But joe average shop owner in nebraska will be much more likely to sign his shop up for the Bike Index if he knows a shop in NYC that he follows on twitter has.
That is so wrong on so many levels but hugely comical!
'joe average shop owner in nebraska' is condescending, patronising or something not exactly respectful.
'joe average shop owner in nebraska' is actually working too hard for a living to be on Twitter. He works a long week and that is a six day week with a late night opening. Every morning is early for him. He stands on hard concrete floors when he is not rushed off his feet. He certainly is not following even his own arse on Twitter.
'joe average shop owner in nebraska' would not be following a trendy NYC bikeshop on Twitter, hanging on their every tweet.
Even if he was then do you think that the trendy NYC bike shop would mention Bike Index on Twitter and 'joe average shop owner in nebraska' would notice that tweet and go about some religious conversion to the Bike Index cult?
Having worked in a shop in ruralish Indiana I can tell you that winters are long, no one comes in, and the internet is a magical wonderland.
We made pixel art, checked every webcomic to see if anything new was published and raced bicycles around inside the shop. And we read a bunch of bike blogs, all the time, every day. We sure as hell would have been on twitter if it existed, if only to mock other people.
Also, only a fool stands on concrete all day. You put down a mat or at least some cardboard.
