Thank you, Vittoria

I love my Vittoria Corsa tires. I know some of you have diff experiences but after seeing this article I'm proud to support this product and their ethics.

Thank you, Vittoria. Gives me hope. Kudos to Avery.

Thanks for the share - just sold my Vittoria hoard, but they’ll be a top choice when I need them again..

Dude, right on. That gallery has always been uncomfortable to me. I do not visit that website because of their decision to blatantly objectify women.

yeah, me too. it just seemed to be clearly stating that it was a website for a subset of bikes/bike racing, and i'm interested in a bigger/broader community. one that includes women as people and participants, not just bodies.

Thanks for sharing. Vittorias are my fave tires as well. Good of Avery to do this.

This I agree with!

Awesome. I'm even more glad I picked up a pair of 25mm open corsas a couple months ago. No complaints about performance, in fact, they're awesome. The grip in corners is otherworldly--they almost seem to pull my bike into the line instead of having to fight to stay in it through the turn. Arguably this is a function of geometry and fork rake, but the tires I was using previously were not allowing this to happen.

Also, I'm so very glad to be seeing a culture shift in attitudes about women. Lots of current events affirming this. I've started calling the post-millennial generation (the social media kids) "generation over it" because they seem to be fed up with consumerism, racism, sexism, religion (not saying this is a good thing, but it is what it is and everyone has their own opinion), and political corruption. My wife and I are millennials that work with college students and we have witnessed a radical shift in the current class of undergraduate students from when we were in college. It's not all positive (social skills are becoming more rare, for one), but some of it really is!

Interesting development, my memory may be murky but I recall someone calling out that site during the Podium Girl Controversy of 2014 or 2015 and "Charles" defending the gallery as good ole' fashioned fun. Times have changed in the last 2 months.
