Function

The TANGLEFOOT CATALOG functions as a guide and resource device.  With it, the user should know better the bicycle and parallel inquiries.  

Items listed in the CATALOG are deemed:

      1)  Useful as a tool for experiencing the world.

      2)  Relevant to current & future needs.

      3)  Highest quality at a fair price.

      4)  Easily available at a brick and mortar dealer or

           from the same dealer, on the internet.

The CATALOG is constantly revised with new information and products with continual input from readers and staff.  

Purpose 

We are awash in the lurid excess of the new. Culture produces without knowing the reason for production. The headlong rush for the new ignores lessons learned in the past, leading to repeated failures and waste.  Education is the only weapon against such waste.  By knowing the past we can understand our current and future needs clearly.  If we only look forward, we are blind.  The CATALOG seeks to educate and illuminate a path forward.  Tools that aid this process are presented in the following pages.  

Tanglefoot is based in an off the grid Sugar Shack in Vermont.
