It may be hard to believe, but the Cannondale Bike company didn't get their start by making bikes. Their journey began in pre-cast concrete for housing. Nav Bhatia had a similar circuitous journey. As a Canadian immigrant from India he sought a career in mechanical engineer, but ended up selling cars putting him on a path that eventually led to his induction in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.  Kyle and Jheission hop on their bikes and pedal across Wikipedia as they go from Cannondale Bicycles to Raptors Superfan Nav Bhatia.
