I'm with Eseman! Breakdown's can feel very damaging but if you consider your two positions, one of being in a job you hated (past) and one of being unemployed with an open mind (present), your current position is a big step closer towards having a job you find fulfilling. This is the position you need to be in to make the next step. I'd ask yourself "what job characteristics do I tend to enjoy?" and see where that leads.

I feel like I've almost come full circle in this thread now.. I've just made a big leap at breaking free from professional life, handed my notice in last week, finish my current job 11th Feb! I've been working full time as a teacher for the past 3.5 years and honestly getting sicker and sicker of this super narrow curriculum that doesn't prepare kids for life outside of exams. This academic year I went down to 4d/w contract and enrolled in a life coaching course with MOE. I qualified in November and have been taking on clients left and right since and one niche I've really identified with is helping people who dislike their present position find fulfilment through work.

For those who don't know what coaching's about.. It's about having someone skilled to help you find the things that speak out most strongly to you and then support you in making progress towards those things. I coach people over all sorts of obstacles, one of my strengths is the motivation I bring to the table.

So I'm just leaving my personal professional life hell and have found work that really inspires and energises me and that closes the loop for me as I'm now offering to help other people out of their own problems in the very same space that I came to. If you're interested in coaching send me a private message here (or on my linkedin here ) and we can get the ball rolling, first two sessions are free. If anyone feels like they really need coaching but couldn't pay for it, please send me a message anyway and we may be able to sort something out.

I follow this thread. I've just completed a life coaching qualification with the MOE foundation and am pumped to try and use that to pivot out of my current job which I'm really disliking at the moment. Tempted to try and train as a mechanic/get entry level bike mech work to get out in the short term. I have an emerging awareness that my fulfilment at work has a huge impact on every area of my life. What options would you be entertaining if you were to leave your job in the next few months?

Could anyone point me in the direction of cycle coaching and cycle mechanic courses for some research? I'm currently in Spain and thinking of going down to some LBSs to propose an apprenticeship.

Dibs!

Ups

Dibs if still available! Have pm'd

Looking for a reynolds 531 frame, geared preferrably but would consider single speed, ideally with dual pivot brakes.

Last year there were small tea lights (plastic with LED inside, not candles) at most junctions to direct dun runners the right way. They are small but keep an eye out, they saved us a few times last year :)

I've got 2-4 who are up for the minibus if it takes off! @Chung

Bought as a summer project but am moving to Spain in August now so flogging this on to someone else.

How do you guys feel about scavenging for parts? A few beater bikes have been locked up with a seat post/wheel/everything except frame missing near where I live for months not. Tempted to take a few pieces I need for a cheap project like brake levers and pedals.

Moving country in August so selling before I go. Lovely gazzelle single speed with swept back bars for that relaxed stance. Hasn't seen much mileage since I put it together last year as I have a different commuter so only use this for the shops etc. Super light, gorgeous lug-work and a very enjoyable, cruisey ride.

Any chance you'd split?

Beautiful, glws

Is the frame material aluminium?

Anyone else doing a ride roughly 25 miles long around central London finishing near Buckingham Palace this Sunday morning?

That front sprocket!

After seeing it and snatching it up knowing how rare wall storage is on the forum I never actually considered where it would go. Then when I finally picked up a project frame such that I'd need to store one on the wall, I realised that there wasn't a good spot for me to put it in :(

Never ended putting it up!

I did not, it's lovely though :)

Anyone comment on bike fits they've had to help me choose please? Any info about where, how much, what they did and how useful you found it would be really helpful. I'm trying to decide between a budget and an expensive fit and hear recommendations all the time but have no idea of the actual difference. Thanks
