I recently spoke at the new(ish) Howies store in Bristol on my last 2 years of adventuring, messing about with bikes, skis, pulkas and shotguns. Not only do I respect the Howies philosophy to business and like what they are doing with low-carbon manufacturing, but they are one of a few companies today that are integrated into their local community. Bristol is a great city and this tiny store (and relatively small brand) managed to attract 50 people off the streets to hear me wax lyrical about why a full suspension mountain bike with a trailer is a great way to cycle across the central Iceland desert (how naive was I?)
Anyway thanks Howies, for the warm welcome, great beer and sausages on cocktail sticks and of course the merino, can't forget the merino.
