Your weekly focus on sustainable solutions to make Corporates, Cycling & Ourselves better + all that overlaps! from @Timvdweide, ex-bikeshop owner, agent @andmoraal and consultant @ERMinsight.

Hi. This week a mixed bag of palm oil, recycled clothing, saving fuel and more, the growth mindset vs the fixed one, and hardly any abandons this year in the Tour de France. Although Contador just quit today.

Enjoy!

As always, send me a message if you have any feedback!
