I worked in a few shops. I wasn’t strictly a mechanic though, at some shops I was mechanic, salesperson, cashier, inventory control, others just a service writer. At one shop I was our team mechanic, mostly because I was willing to stay late Fridays and work on bikes. I went to Killington nice as the driver/mechanic/cooler filler upper and actually got a chance to ride in a neutral support vehicle. The coach wanted me to go to Greece with the men’s junior team but I couldn’t get my UCI license soon enough.
