I'm a biker by heart, I do not own a car anymore. It is delusional to think, that our bikes are better than any other globalized production cycle product. Even if you buy from a local store, you sadly don't know, if they used unethical source materials. We need full insight into this cycle, where the source material came from, who got their hands dirty etc.

Otherwise it all can be sold to much higher prices, being fair and all, but in reality you are just buying the same dubious materials as before. I will never feel like a customer that is treated fair, until I can be sure about the origins of the materials.
