What the ????

Started out with a bang and it has dropped to the point of why bother. Quickly becoming one of the hoards of surly bike shop owners which I was striving to not become. It has gotten to the point where I had to get a full time job to support the bike shop. And have people making smarmy comments about my hours, such as, "oh, it must be nice to only have to work 2 hours a day" to which I reply " I've been up since 5:30 and have already put in a 9 hour day at my first job, but thank you for supporting small business" Most of the public are not aware but most of us independent bike shop owners do work another job, some even live inside their shops after hours. Why you ask? Because we are bike people, we live, eat and sleep bikes. So please do some research before coming into an actual bike shop and know what it is you are looking for, chances are we already put in a full day somewhere else and could snap at any moment. Thank you for your support.
