Bought a couple of bikes there. Sad in a time that employees need money. Oh well

You didn't read the article then. It is due to the employees.

Yeah, they say they aren't anti-police but yet they want to make a political statement by not supporting the police (and canceling a contract agreement with the APD). Hopefully there are penalty clauses in that contract that can be used against Mellow Johnny's.

And good luck to them trying to stay in business. I think they are going to find out that the market for high end bikes isn't exactly the same crowd that is the woke anti-police crowd.

Accept 350k in PPP funds, for the employees.

Cancel the contract, that brings in 350k annually, which keeps the employees....employed.

Really really dumb

If their business is broken into, I wonder who they'd likely call....

I wouldn't fault the cops at all if they took their time to respond to that call.

Sounds like the owner is positioning himself for a run for city council to join the rest of the imbeciles.

Its also a TREK thing... they don't want to be associated with police. "Service Model Bikes."

I've seen references to him still being an owner. Another reason to dislike him
