On My Bike to CRAZY TOWN!

Last week I moved to 'crazy town'. The crux of my crazy? Starting a new job with little knowledge. I'm still reeling from the fact I did it.

Gaining a new job sealed leaving an old one - where Id been for 6 yrs, and where I new every particle. I originally got this job as a student and was meant to leave for better prospects. But I'd gotten stuck, then bored, and finally grumpy. I literally dreamt of ways to get fired. This was a cowards tactic to procrastinate against making a decision. Last week, when a new manager with a penchant for barking me orders chose to treat me like a child, I chose to leave. I decided there and then to carve a new job in the bike industry. Within one day...BAM! I got one.

Now here I am, with a little bit of experience but a great amount of passion, selling bikes & bike paraphernalia. Ive so many ideas as to where I want the business to go. For One. I want a female oriented store that takes women and their bike-love seriously. Somewhere to buy funky & practical bike gear and also to come have a warm chat and get some friendly advice.

This week showed me a tremendous learning curve and was nerve racking to boot. But I'm loving the challenge and totally excited about the prospect of assisting women on and off the bike. It really is all about, as Nike says, just doing it.

On another fabulous note that took my week to another level, I sold my rustic bike shelf to a lovely customer in the United States. The feedback will be anticipated because I dearly love this shelf. Here it is.. and YES, I will make another similar to it.

Sold bicycle shelf is packed up and destined for the US.
