Volagi courts public opinion
Bicycle Blog Cycleicious &bull Jan 5, 2012
It appears Specialized Bicycle's intellectual property lawsuit against Volagi will be a high profile knockdown dragout as Volagi's principles use social media to tell their side of the story.

Both have years of experience in the fitness industry, and Choi in particular has been in the bicycle industry designing accessories for long distance and touring cyclists since the 1980s. A month after they announced their first bike, Specialized filed suit against Forsman… Full Story »
