Don’t get me wrong, there’s some ideological component to me trying to keep my prices reasonable and I’m happy to make sure people get the bag they want.
It’s just that the harsh reality of self employment in the bike industry (shit pay and shit hours) can wear one down in the long term. Happy customers and industry recognition are nice, but sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to ride home at 1900 and not think of it as an early night.
