Again, it's a big operation and all phases have to click. In his last blog he goes over investments that may or may not pay off, he's bleeding money that the bike sales can't cover, hence the pay cuts.
He would need to sell way more bikes than he does today and being what they are he can't. So they sell but not enough to erase errors in the rest of the business. To get higher volume bike sales he would have to sell bikes more inline with what people are buying today, which he does not.
