Some local businesses are obtaining commercial emailing lists to send emails to persons who may be interested in their products and services.  The technology out in the world today allows them to get highly targeted lists, so for example, you would not expect to get an email for a quilting show unless you are into quilting.  As most of you will have left bicycling footprints in many places on the web, when a local bike store buys a list, there’s a good chance your email address will be on it.

When a responsible business uses this technology, their email will have a facility to easily remove your name from their list.  This is the case with the email sent out by Bike Works yesterday that many (but not all) of you received.  If you didn’t get one, but would like to (it has a coupon for a discount on bike fits),  send email to adcousins@xxxxxxxxx.  Of course, if you got it and don’t want any more, please use the SafeUnsubscribe button in the email.
