It was a busy week of meeting with cycling industry leaders in Bentonville, Arkansas. Bentonville is a town with a growing presence in the cycling industry thanks not only to the expansion of trails but also to a growing social and business infrastructure supporting cycling businesses. Attendees at the Cycle of Influence Summit last week had the opportunity to visit a couple of remarkable facilities which are both supporting and a result of this growth.
The panelists offered diverse experiences for every topic discussion resulting in a focused audience, attentive to every word. The Summit also offered two off-site visits–The attendees visited North Western Arkansas Community College which offers an impressive mechanics certification course and also Allied Cycles for a factory tour of their carbon bike building facility.

“I am so incredibly pleased with how this first COI went down. The amount of praise, support and promises to return from the attendees has been amazing.” – Sergio Bravo, COI Founder
