“Nice Bike” is going out of your way to let people know that who they are and what they do matters.
It’s saying something positive to someone, instead of just thinking about it. It’s noticing others’ contributions. It’s listening. It’s taking action. It’s connecting genuinely with those around you. “Hey, Nice Bike!”

HONOR
Honor others by creating rich experiences for them.
CONNECT
Connect by making it personal.
