Well I just mean bikes in general in terms of the field you’re working with. Bike shop seems the obvious and easy way to work with bikes but also hella low pay. Just wondering if you want to work on bikes or do something more lucrative but still with bikes.
Dogtemple-
do something more lucrative but still with bikes.
Honest question- like what? I don’t personally know any pro team mechanics but I do know people from F1, and to a man they said the pay was acceptable but not high, especially with the stress/hours/experience required, and that working with F1 cars effectively counted as a job perk. I’d suspect cycling is similar?

Initially happy to just learn about fixing and putting as many different bikes together. Ultimately my interests lie in tour cycling, with future personal tours in mind but also possibly venture into the support side for touring holidays etc. It's all a beta plan at the moment. Out if interest what are you referring to when saying "with bikes". Do you mean within sales, marketing etc?
