I start monday at the local bike shop(Blue Wheel Bicycle Shop) and im really siked. Im a worthless teenager and im super suprised I got hired. I'm getting paid diddly squat starting but thats because they have to "bring me up".
I just cant wait to learn about bikes from the best mechanics in town.
ohh and wholesale prices

Yeah I just got hired at my lbs a couple weeks ago. Expect lots of window cleaning and floor mopping as well as pedal and tube changes.

Reading your posts makes my brain hurt. Maybe skip the job and take some extra English classes?

I've been working at my shop for right at 2 years now started when i was 16. I couldn't be happier. this job was made for me. the frist few months will feel like paying your way through school as a janitor, but after that it's smooth sailing, as long as your boss is cool and/or isn't around much. congrats!
oh and wholesale is for lazy people, you can E.P. EVERYTHING.
another tip: talk to everyone and be as friendly as you can. it makes work a lot more fun if half of your clients are friends and you where riding with them when they broke whatever part they're bring in to fix. that and a comfie pair of shoes...

people at school love to make fun of me for wearing my crocs around all the time. Then they secretly wonder if comfy shoes are the key to true happiness....
