My bike shop in town is big. They undoubtedly make good money. But they have several branches and have been around for a long time in a growing affluent area with perfect biking opportunities ...

Aren't you back in the East BAy somewhere? I am shock that there are not a bike shop every three block as bicycling is so popular up there?
I wanted to do the bike shop thing when I was a kid. It was my dream, but working in one for a few years changed my mind. Saw how the business really run, and that there's aren't too much money to be made selling bikes, I was turned off. Plus, working on someone's POS turned me off. A high end bike would come in every few weeks for something. When it did, I properly knew the owner. It was a small community back then.
They charged 5 bucks to remove a BB cup. It took me all of 1 minute so the money wrenching was good for the shop and that was how they kept the lights on and stayed open.
