Starting a bike shop

[mimitabby]

I'm no partner in crime, but your idea sounds wonderful!

we have a bike shop here in Seattle owned and run by a woman.

I encourage you, stick around here you'll get lots of ideas!

Thank you. What's the name of the store in Seattle?

Mmm... bikes and coffee. That's a wonderful idea. One o the LBS's here has a mini espresso bar with a walk-up window (for non bike shop customers). It's nice to be able to grab a double cappa while you wait for a repair. Oh, and it's decorated with bike parts.

I also know a couple that runs a bike shop. Aaron does repairs, while Gypsie is the brains of the business. She's also a LMP and has her practice at the back of the bike shop. Since she only does massage part-time, she rents out the room to other LMP's.
