If you had the opportunity to run a bike-related business…

Stoner, it’s ok, Fat Willy’s probably haven’t got er, well. It’s just memorable : )

Guiding by day, frame building by night. I reckon there’s a niche for a holliday company where you turn up on day one with an idea, by day 3 there’s a ‘finished’ frame to test ride, then tweak it like a tailored suit over the last couple of days.

I read about this in other of the bike mags abit ago, some guy in the states does it. No further information tho.

I believe it is Waltworks that will be offering something like this once he has moved house, it was on his blog fairly recently

I’d like to live in the alps and meet people on the lifts, tag along on their rides offering them photography services. (and unofficial guiding). Would be quite happy to do this on a subsistence basis.

Get a lottery grant to put an Eden Project-esque dome over Lee Quarry and charge people to ride there, in the dust and warmth 365 days a year. Also have a cafe, dancing girls, bike shop etc there too.

thanks all – some food for thought. I love the idea of the Alpine set-up but unfortunately (or not) the premises is in Somerset. Still, lift service to Quantocks, Mendips, Bristol etc may be an option, as may a taking a kitted-out Piaggio to races/events as a last-minute mobile workshop/snack supplier…
