The next BF Evangelist!

[Lynette Chiang (Galfromdownunder)]

Re: https://bikefriday.com/our-story/careers

For anyone interested in this gig, here’s a bit of background on the hijinks committed by some BF imposter from over a decade ago that might be useful background reading… 😂  but everyone brings their own special sauce to the table, and it’s a whole new biking, commuting and communing world out here, right?  😘 I mean, now there’s TikTok, AR and the Metaverse… Augmented evangelism here you come!   https://www.fastcompany.com/1649094/24-7-customer-evangelist-decade-across-dining-room-table

Hi Lynette,

Good to hear from you!   Fascinating to find that Bike Friday finally realises that you need you (that is, your role) again.  The job description omits to say that the ideal candidate should be an extrovert!

=v= Everything I've seen from "the Metaverse" shows goofy
animations floating in air, with nothing from the waist down.
This would present a challenge for bicycling, I think.

If only we could swap out Zuckerberg with Stephenson, how much better Meta may have been. It, at least, would have been more entertaining.

I can’t recall if I ever shared this (and stop reading if I did), but stumbling upon old emails and links I came across this “timeline” of Friday history 2000-2009 I cobbled together when I worked there, now buried on the Wayback machine (web archive): https://web.archive.org/web/20101213115832/http://bikefriday.com/decadeoffridays

Many links are broken - as happens in that tomb of memories - but in case you’re a newer BF owner interested in seeing what went down that decade, feel free to pedal down the rabbit hole... (I don't seem to have permission to start new posts, so I'm replying on an old thread that's vaguely relevant)....

[Ray Chong]

Some interesting stuff. Thank you for sharing!

(And now I know who designed the headbadge...well done!)

If you click on the archived links to YouTube, you'll come up with the page for the video but the video pane will be blank. .The Internet Archive does not save videos -- just too much bandwidth! However, if you go to the Bike Friday channel on YouTube, you'll find most of them there. Go to https://www.youtube.com/@bikefriday/videos and then scroll down, down, down for the old ones. Many are also accessible through playlists.
