Q2. Have you ever had a job in the 'bike industry' (i.e anything cycling-centric)? How did it work out? If not, have you ever considered it?

@ascentale @pete @bikenite a2. I worked in bike shops between 1988 and 1994. Started as a summer job and continued full time a couple years after getting my liberal arts degree and then another summer while getting another degree. #bikenite
@ascentale @pete @bikenite I mostly really liked it. I liked both retail and repair work, and also just hanging out with other enthusiasts. The low pay and skimpy benefits made it untenable to support a family that we planned. The discounts were nice tho.
