    I’d say “Hmmm, interesting.” Cycling Dude has reported that the cycling industry is worth a billion dollars each year to the state of Wisconsin. This appointment is probably mutually beneficial to both the state of Wisconsin and to Trek. It might be interesting to see what kind of interaction will play out between Secretary Mary Burke and the other huge player in Wisconsin bike sales, Pacific Cycles.
