So... i'm outgrowing my previous career aspirations. Does anyone do anything really cool and bike related as their job?

You could build your own frames.
You could work for a large bike corporation in any area be it financial, HR, marketing, etc...
You could be a filmmaker and film bikes (freeriding or fixie/underground would be good, popular arenas).
You could do lots...

I pedicab. Made about $20 per hour this Saturday. Most of the days aren't quite that good though; that was during a football game.

I should look into this, I live in Ann Arbor, and the game days are always huge, and when parking $40 a day people really like to park way out and walk it, but i think i could make a killing with a pedicab.

All the pedicab guys around here seem to be parking around and talking to eachother all the time. Or eating. Dont look too happy or seem to be making cash.
