what is a bike co-op? is it any shop that isn't a chain? or is there some other specification?
Putney Cycles are lo0king for a predominantly sales person
nah - i really want to start at the mechanical level; just emerse myself in mechanising, y'ken?
(+i live in stoke newington, and so i'd probably appreciate an easier commute every morn!)
you can volunteer at the recycle bike workshop in Walthamstow that i mentioned last week, they teach you to rebuild / recycle the bikes that are donated. its run by the coucil, they are often requesting volunteers: more info: call Gina Harkwell 0208 496 3000
on a plate for you
yeah - i've had a look at these guys on t' internet
i may be doing something similar with the bikes4africa project as my matey works with them
looks to me that knowledge is key (tis a rhyme! but not so good on t' time), and that any and all knowledge i can pick up before going for a job is key to my future success. i plan to be reading up on the Zinn books, as well as the Sheldon and park tool sites
also, cycling forums recommended reading a few John Barnett books as well - any recommendations for him?
