Hi all,

I'm after some help or options. As a former semi-pro xc mountain bike racer I now live in europe looking after my young child for 1 year but i'm looking for some part time work to full time in a years time with in the bike world that i can do from home while i'm looking after my young child.
I don't know if it's possible or if there is even any option out there but if there was i would be interested.

I look forward to hearing back with any options.

How "good" are you?

There is some work like building wheels that should be possible to do at home. Perhaps even contract out to some local bike shops.

There is, of course, buying and selling. There is a unique market of taking European products and dumping them on E-Bay in the USA. Or, taking European classic bikes, parting them out and selling on E-Bay.

You will have to really hustle if you wish to make something like a home bike job into a full-time business.

Hi,

It doesn't have to be that I start a business I would be happy is there is any business out there that are looking for someone

Working from home might require some computer and/or communication skills.

Sounds like maybe you should look into a podcast or writing for some publication.

Do you have any education?

Hi Machka,

I do yes and i'm trained as a Technicain for Audi and VW but with living in Germany my german is not so good to be able to my job here and with looking after my young child i was looking into differnet option in the bike world that maybe i could do from home

Are you an EU citizen? If not do you have a work permit?

I'm from the UK so I don't need a work permit

Could be more lucre in Childcare or car Servicing...

The jobs "in the bike world" are usually limited to things like:

Delivery
Police or Security Officer on bicycle
Engineering/Design
Sales/Warehousing
Mechanic
Bicycle Tour Leader/Helper
Spin Class Instructor
Artist

Although this might give you some other ideas.

What would you like to do?

You might in the near future.

Something I can do around my daughter, my wife works shifts

Maybe you could be a bike messenger, and take the kid along in a kid carrier.
