Nothing fires me up like bicycles.

Second to that is the idea of opening a bike shop because you're passionate about bicycles (I've heard that no one really goes into it for the money).

I've been tempted to open a shop on and off for years. Helped create an identity system for a new family-oriented shop a couple years ago and it's nice to see that guy turning a good coin from month to month, even in winter.

If you're serious about pursuing this, Larry, I'd be happy to help with the identity/logo system. If so, PM me and I'll send you samples of my work.

Regardless of whether you need my help or not, I really hope you pursue this. Exciting stuff, man!
