pretty much everyone who has a bike shop job said that you begin with small jobs (flats, small repairs) and labor (sweeping, keeping the place clean, moving bikes around, etc.). then they teach you everything you don't know.

just ask if you can help out for free. most places will say sure, its free labor. most likely they will see you want to be there and hire you.
