I've begun to compile a list for "You know you work in a bike shop when"
You know you work in a bike shop when:
You constantly find valve caps all over your house. You make no money, but you have a really nice bike. You really hate 60lb electric bikes. You want to murder the CEO of Supercycle. A 12 year old hangs up on you every time you say "No we don't sell insert brand name here (usually Kona and Norco)>" You question the sexuality of at least one other mechanic. You get to go to work every day. You spend your days off at work. You've faced a bottom bracket at least twice.
1. You spend more time fixing other peoples bikes than riding your own. 2. You come on this board for shits and giggles.
true if American, you go to sites that have european pricing just so you have an idea of the prodeal pricing. you have more quick links than normal links on your chain. you laugh at anyone who complains about the price of their x.7 derailleur you get more e-mails from bike companies denying your request for prodeal than from actuall friends you have a metal detector in your house you have more exel spreadsheets than bikes you own with plans for upgrading your bikes you go on more company demo rides than actual rides three times as many kids have your cellphone number than numbers you have of other people you go onto pinkbike twice a day to make sure your friends aren't buying bikes of outside companies when you see a group of people at the trails with a bike brand you've never seen around their before, you become scared for your business you constantly have to tell kids to keep practicing before they get the chance to wear a shop jersey
