It is readers feedback like this, that drives Lou to write with passion:
After reading Mr. Tortola's first novel "A Bridge of Time"; I can give future readers one piece of advice... read this on night when you can afford to go to bed in the wee hours. Mr. Tortola, owes me a night of sleep!! I picked up the book hoping to read a chapter or two but ending up turning page after page until I read it in one sitting. (an Amazon post)

His other accomplishments Include:
Habitat For Humanity (Past President: Windsor Essex)
Windsor International Film Festival (Founding Board member)
Windsor Executives Association (Past President)
On the board of other non-profit organizations.
Entrepreneur and business owner for 30 years.

In 2010, after a season filled with long-distance rides, Lou Tortola - inventor of the RoundTail™ - began to rethink the shape of a bicycle frame. Why had the bicycle frame remained nearly unchanged for so long? Tortola broke through the barriers of the triangle. He believed that a pair of continuous rings beneath the rider would absorb road vibrations without compromising performance or lateral stiffness. Five months later, his vision became a reality.
