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!

Just Got a Job at a Bike shop
To disable ads, please log-in.
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!

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!

If you can chuck a decent cup of tea in there it sounds like heaven. Three addictions all rolled into one. Originally Posted by maillotpois

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...
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.

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

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.
