Please take a few mins to check it out.
âWhat is SimWorks?â
âWhy did you start SimWorks USA in Portland?â
âWhat does success mean to you?â
These are questions I get asked often, and also questions I keep asking myself again and again.
After traveling together with Shinya Tanaka
@kyutai , a founder of SimWorks and the bicycle shop Circles in Nagoya, Japan, I decided to build a home for SimWorks USA in Portland, Oregon, to build a Bridge ăæ¶ăæ©ă between makers, people, and communities in Japan and the US.
⊠BETWEEN YOU AND ME đ
For me, success means being able to connect with people through SimWorks, and seeing those people, everyone involved, living their lives in a healthy way, both mentally and physically, and enjoying each day with a positive mindset. If SimWorks can enrich someoneâs life even a little and help create moments of health and happiness, then being able to feel that is, to me, the greatest success of all.
As for SimWorks itself and our community, to never stop creating, learning, and continuing. If we can keep learning, keep creating, keep updating, then I believe that is success.
To maintain curiosity, not fear change, and to have an environment where we can continue to grow, this to me, is what it means to live a truly fulfilled and vibrant life.
When I see things in nature, animals, flowers, landscapes, or experience something, I want more people to experience it too, to see it too, and thatâs what makes me want to take photographs or think whether it might be possible to organize a SimWorks bikepacking ride in this place next time.
I hope I can go on more bikepacking trips again this year.
So, weâre planning a SimWorks Bikepacking Overnighter after MADE Show this year again. Stay tuned!!
