David Kurushima is the Retail Manager for the Community Cycling Center, a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon that aims to broaden access to bicycles for everyone, working to remove barriers that might keep someone off their ideal bicycle. To that end, how do they design the bike shop experience for the best results? David tells us about what he considers in this effort as he guides their staff and shop layout!
