getting a trainee position in a bike shop is easiest in the spring - often bike shops are looking for summer staff but if you can't commit to the whole summer & want time off they might pick someone who can give that level of commitment - training is supported by the government with ATG/Cytech again for employees who are going to stay & make the investment pay off.
working on your own bike & help from more experienced mechanics (the LCC free d-i-y workshops are good for this) is a good start
