Forward.
Other than that I think you should buy locally and support the economy you live in, buy from an LBS that carries brands that contribute to cycling advocacy, volunteers their time to promote a cycling friendly atmosphere within your community so that you can ride in relative safety and supports cool people that love the same sport that you do so it continues into future generations rather than stagnates into an undervalued commodity item.
