thanks everyone. I stopped by and talked to them again yesterday and I think it will be fun. They are willing to be so flexible with my schedule that I can really just ease into this. I really like these guys and don't want to lose the fun of stopping by the shop.

It is definitely a joy to work in a bike shop. I have been in three over the years. Right now, I am actually the floor manager. One issue to keep in mind is male customers dealing with a female. I still have men that come into our shop and directly ask me is there someone that can answer a question about my bike. As they ask me this, they are looking around for another employee.
I had my women's cycling seminar this past Friday. I had a terrific turnout. One woman came up to me and said that she now only shops in St. Louis bike shops where a woman is employed. Even though we have many shops here, only three have women working in them.
Good luck with the job - it is definitely a joy to go off to work when you enjoy what you are doing!
