Intentions for Wikipedia posts
I intend to provide factually correct information about key events and companies that have helped to shape the sport and industry of cycling and other industries in which I am involved. I intend to draw on these companies for information and to encourage their employees to post information.

The purpose of my posts is to inform interested parties about significant contributors to a given field of endeavour. Pioneering work will be highlighted in these contributions, as well as landmark actions and events.
