I just got my girlfriend a job at a bike shop!

One of the bike shops in my town (not the one I work part-time for) sent me a notice that they were hiring. I let them know my plate is full, but I forwarded it to my girlfriend.

Yesterday, they offered her a full-time sales position!

I'm excited for her, and excited that she'll become even more of a bike nerd. She loves to ride, but hasn't paid very close attention to bikes themselves. She has a lot to learn, and I'm happy to help her nerd up.

Plus, we'll soon be moving into a house that makes both our bike commutes easy (~3 miles).

A few words.

"Parts/bikes at cost."

Enjoy.

More like cost, including shipping +10%

A shop benefits by having a woman talking to their woman customers ..

Big enough shop and Pricing and stocking, display in addition to customer service ,

give the wrenching people more time to get the Repair Queue down to a reasonable turnaround.
