There’s no doubt that cycling is on the up. You only have to be out on the roads in summer to realise that the number of recreational cyclists has multiplied. And the number of people using their bikes to commute has grown too. I might even be tempted to join them were it not for one thing – I don’t want to arrive at work sweaty, and then spend the day feeling scruffy. Commuters in Sao Paolo, Brazil have the perfect solution.
Café and bicycle repair shop Aro 27 offers commuters showering facilities as well as a place to safely park their bike. Aro 27 functions not only as a restaurant, but also a shop to buy cycling equipment and a repair centre and workshop to fix punctures or more serious problems. Visitors are able to park their bike in Aro 27’s secure storage and even enjoy a shower to freshen up before they hit the road again.
Might commuters in UK cities be prepared to pay to park their bike and shower before going off to work? Certainly, I know that many large firms already offer these facilities, but there must be many smaller ones that don’t. Something to research if your interested.

We’ve discussed before how direct sales organisations like Avon are enjoying a boom in sales and a big rise in the number of agents. Further evidence of the trend is supplied via Mary Kay cosmetics in the United States who signed up a record 165,000 new freelance sales reps.
This seems to be a change precipitated by the economic downturn – people are looking for a low-hassle way to make some extra money and companies like these provide it. From the companies point of view, it’s also good news. They get a company representative who doesn’t earn a penny until they sell, plus access to all their contacts.
Might the direct sales agent business model be applicable to your business, venture or idea. If so, then now would be a good time to put it to the test.

Dear Streewise Customer,
A few weeks ago, I received an email from a guy making an astonishing claim. He claimed to be making £3,000-£6,000 a month using a gambling system which, when used correctly, could never lose!
Needless to say, there were all sorts of questions flying around my
head…
. Is there really no risk?
. Did he have proof?
. Can anyone do it?
. How is it done exactly?
For the answers take a look here:

I’ve seen detailed video evidence of this being done and it’s no exaggeration to say that this is the holy grail. If you hate losing, you’re going to love this.
Take a look now.
Kind Regards
John Harrison
