I see the two statements supporting each other. To me, his point is that the world is changing, you're probably hurting because of it (safe assumption in a recession), and the old way of doing things ain't gonna cut it no more. If you're not trying something new simply because you've not done it before, why the hell not try it now!? If things are bad, now is the time to question your assumptions, beliefs, and "walls". In the main, I think we both agree. On every level, cycling needs a shake-up to improve. What could we be doing differently that would make an impact on the opportunities available, quality of events, and financial support our teams and athletes need?

If the environment has changed dramatically and you are feeling pain because of it, this is a great reason to question yourself, to ask why. -Seth Godin" The Purple Cow didn't change the word in 2003 and I don't agree with this comment because it a contradiction. Godin says because you never did something isn't a good reason to try but at the same time if you are feeling pain because of the recession question yourself. I would say that is a good enough reason to change or do something you have never done. The movements of the early part of the 20th century would call bullshit on that, The Dadaist and Futurists for sure. Its time for a new movement. Iconoclastic thinking! I'm no authority or pillar of the cycling community but what I see is tired and spent. Things need to change and if that is doing something that hasn't been done before then sign me up! “If the only reason you don’t do something is because you never did, that’s not a good reason.
