It’s time to load the bus!<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Bicycle shops transform communities!<\/span><\/p>\n

Wallpaper stores, hospitals & power plants are necessary for communities, but bicycle shops are a part of it’s soul…<\/span><\/p>\n

The bicycle is the perfect answer for crossing cultural barriers as well as solving economic, environmental & health issues!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the perfect antidote to slowing people down and getting them to think.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bicycle speaks to people; young & old, rich or poor, for recreation or utility.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bicycle is great common ground! Everybody has a story about riding a bike!
\n<\/span>Share yours, listen to others, create new ones!<\/p>\n

So you want to work in a bike shop.<\/span><\/h6>\n
If you want a job in a bike shop, start buying tools (one at a time) from a bike shop, and take your<\/div>\n
bike apart, see how it works, lube it, clean it up, and put it back together again. Do this 1 million<\/div>\n
times.<\/div>\n
Do it blind folded.<\/div>\n
The Library has books on bike repair, websites do too.<\/div>\n
Do things you think you can’t do, over-come them.<\/div>\n
Take the time to read, experiment, ponder and fiddle.<\/div>\n
Get really fast.  Repair a flat in under three minutes. Always make things run perfect.
\nA complete tune up shouldn’t take more then 60 minutes.<\/div>\n
Go on every group ride and shop ride you can find.<\/div>\n
Continually ask questions about how things work and if you don’t get an answer, ask somebody else.<\/div>\n
Make a list of all the road rides and mtn rides that you might explore in this area then go ride them. \"The<\/a><\/div>\n
Fall in love with riding in 100 degree heat. Can you ride 50 miles, can you do 75, will you do<\/div>\n
100….. multiple days?<\/div>\n
Read bike magazines and expose yourself to this strange eclectic culture.<\/div>\n
Discover night riding.<\/div>\n
Explore your world via bike.<\/div>\n
Fix your friends bikes and your moms bike.<\/div>\n
Make that pcs of junk run really sweet. Impress a girl.<\/div>\n
Discover different bike cultures- Road, Mtn, Fixie, Cruiser, Utility, Recumbent, Tandem, Frame building and design.
\nBe a parts geek – a techno-wennie.
\nDrill holes in all your parts to see how light you can make your bike before they break.<\/div>\n
Pull bikes out of the trash and fix them up and sell them to raise funds for other bike projects.<\/div>\n
I’ve never trained a good bike mechanic. They always train themselves.<\/div>\n
Now you are a bike mechanic and I should like to hire you. ~Chris Brown<\/em><\/div>\n
