My 2 cents....

Research Research Research. Ask a LOT of questions to owners of other bike stores. I would even go work at one if I was you so you can learn everything.

Also, how many people ride bikes where you live? In Dublin, CA I see bikers constantly. In fact there are so many of them they get in the way. However in Hayward I never see any. So a bike store in Hayward wouldn't do nearly as well as Dublin.

Also, if you don't have assets the bank will not give you a SBA loan. You will either need home equity or equipment for them to put a lein or UCC filing.
