I worked for a Schwinn Shop from 1984 to 2000 on Long Island, NY. I got my Schwinn Training at their New Jersey warehouse (was it in Cranbury?) It was great to be part of the industry then - the BMX boom was happening and it was the relatively early days of Mountain Bikes. I still have and Ride the Bianchi Road and Cannondale mountain bikes I built. I got to go to Trade Shows in Atlantic City ans Philadelphia, and to additional training events from Trek, Cannondale, Kestrel and Oakley. We did Mechanical Support to an annual Benefits Ride. The own was great - it was a family business - and he was very accommodating with hours when I returned to school. It was a great part of my life... oh, and I got Employee Discounts!
