It's an amazing indication of how few bike companies we can think of that actually have an environmental and socio-political track record we can actually relate to or view as 'positive'. This is especially troubling because cycling - and especially mountain biking - is supposed to be environmentally based, or at least have some sort of left-wing origins and future.
What I think I'll do is spend this week having a more thorough search to see what I can find. I'm begining to think that the bike industry is very, very backward when it comes to these things, and maybe it's time to bring these issues to the fore.
If anyone else wants to do a public service and have a bit of a search too, that'd be great
