Oh man, this morning I was hired at an awesome bike shop in town. I am so excited. I will be learning so much about bikes and how they work. I will actually learn how to build them. Crazy huh? I get mad discounts too! What a perfect job for a young cyclist, I'm tellin' ya! I work at a coffee shop and a bike shop ( my two passions). Thought I would share the good news!

Congrats Megan! I wouldn't mind a job at a bike shop, but I would have to learn so very much as I can't seem to change my own tire without help!

Wow - I think we might be able to do a franchise here, there's so much interest!! Fishdr can be our main baked good supplier!

:D :D :D

If you can chuck a decent cup of tea in there it sounds like heaven. Three addictions all rolled into one.:D

WHOOOO HOOOO!!! Congrats, being "the shop girl" is so fun. I get up every morning and think, "I can't wait to get to work." Now if only my mother could understand that...:cool:

The only downside will be the few male customers who insist on treating you like you don't know what you're talking about because you're a girl, but the good stuff far outweighs the few jerks.:D

Congratulations! What an ideal combination of jobs!:D

There is a bike shop here in Seattle that has a coffee shop in it, I'm hoping to find it one of these weekends.

:D :D :D I would go for that! So would my dh. I know a new and used book store owner. And she as two shop cats too.

If you extend that franchise to Middle Earth, let me know. I could run a shop like that.

And congrats on the new job MH

You might be thinking of R&E, up on the north end of the Ave in the U-district, near Ravenna...

yup, I think that's it! Near 52nd or something. I tried to find it one day with Mr. Grumpy Small Knot and drove by, vowing that one day I'd go BY MYSELF and have a latte and a gander at the pretties.

Have you been there?

Knotted Yet: Yep, been there. A couple years ago when I was a really new rider, I had a private lesson there from one of their wrenches (a woman, naturally!) who taught me how to change a rear tire and repair my chain. It was all hands on and really confidence building.

MHTrek: Good going on your new job! You will be in such a great position to encourage, inspire and educate new riders, like the wrench who helped me a couple years ago.
