Hi all,
I'm after some help or options. As a former semi-pro xc mountain bike racer I now live in europe looking after my young child for 1 year but i'm looking for some part time work to full time in a years time with in the bike world that i can do from home while i'm looking after my young child.
I don't know if it's possible or if there is even any option out there but if there was i would be interested.
I look forward to hearing back with any options.

How "good" are you?
There is some work like building wheels that should be possible to do at home. Perhaps even contract out to some local bike shops.
There is, of course, buying and selling. There is a unique market of taking European products and dumping them on E-Bay in the USA. Or, taking European classic bikes, parting them out and selling on E-Bay.
You will have to really hustle if you wish to make something like a home bike job into a full-time business.

Working from home might require some computer and/or communication skills.

Maybe you could be a bike messenger, and take the kid along in a kid carrier.
