Went and did some more research today with my kids, 16 miles on our bikes today
. Well let me tell you I found a few yes few more bike shop along the bike path today that I didn't know where there
I went in to two of them, nice places clean very friendly and seemed to know their stuff about bikes. Neither owner was in, or at least wouldn't admit thery were the owner if they were. One was low end and used bikes, the other had some middle to higher end stuff and a few tradins.
The one thing I did see was that neither stocked much of anything in the way of parts (small stuff yes) but no wheels, hubs, cranks,! Mostly just tires and tubes and a few seats and a couple of bars. My daughter needs a taller set of bars but they didn't have a 3" rise in black in stock.
So the research continues. But I am starting to rethink this idea? I have another idea for the industry I know very well. Anyone know anything about setting up to be a franchiser (the one doing the franchising)
