Opening a Bike Shop!

Salsa - BEST OF LUCK!! I have deep respect for anyone who has the courage to pursue their dream And to think, work will be something you and your husband love. It doesn't get better than that.
I can't believe it but your dog MIGHT have more toys than my girls. haha. Of course, I have three dogs so I have an "excuse" for all the toys. Just kidding, of course. One cannot spoils one's best friend too much, in my opinion.
I like your site, too. It looks like you found a good space. What color are you painting it? What about the floors. When you start stocking some stuff w/your logo, let me know. I'll want to buy a water bottle from you to add to my collection.

I use mozillar firefox, and my default mail program is gmail. When I click on the link, it opens gmail, with the to field filled in, but it opens it in the window I was using to view your site, therefore....your site is no longer there for me, without having to fancy dance back to it....

Since people could be running any number of web-based email programs as their default, this could happen to a fair number of people....but it may not be as high a priority to fix as I'd originally thought! I would hope the code would be pretty simple.

Still a cool site, and I'm very proud of you for taking the big leap!

Namaste,
~T~

So awesome, that is great that you are enjoying life to the full capacity of your lifetime dreams. Life is short, ride long! We plan to open a shop someday too, but it will probably happen in 10 years after he retires from Gov't. 10 years is not really all that long. Guess I could map out and change things along the way to get prepared for our big day as well. How long did it take you to plan things out. How you wanted to run things different to stand out above the crowd of other cycling shops in area, etc. ?

It took us about 2 years to work everything out. To get the business plan finalized etc. It was a lot of work, but hopefully be worth it. Our shop will hopefully stand out because of our focus on mountain bikes and families. We plan on having seminars in the community about cycling (safety, mainenance, types of bikes, etc) and hope in the spring/summer to try and have family rides. Our shop is really focused on educating our customer/community on everything about cycling.

Also, if you're from the area, check out our website again. We've updated it with our grand opening specials!
