Back from the gym where I rode a stationery bike and the workout has my left hip socket sore and hurting. I don't understand why this happens on a stationary bike because I never get this riding the streets.

I skipped the "full" workout today because I'm feeling kind of down. Swine Flu thing is a little scary and I don't want to push the headache/body aches coming on but fortunately I'm not in a high risk category i.e. elderly and young ones.

Ever wonder who will be greater in the long history of Augliar, Brittany Spears, Hannah Montana or Lindsey Lohan? You have to admire Billy Cyrus handling of the kid.

Closing for tonight because with bike season starting up the orders are getting crazy and I need the rest. Nice to be on the wholesale side of things even though the trips to the plant in China have been limited.

Thanks Sue for the job and the rant. Your a great boss.

Thanks so much for your help in picking my sons bicycle. It arrived yesterday, just as you promised, and my son loved it. Just the look on his face told me that I had hit a home run.
Thanks again for all your help and patience with my nine million questions.

New BC106 Greenline Bicycles

Looks like the new models of the Greenline Bicycles have started to arrive. It was interesting that where Greenline put a dash of green on the 106 models for last year they have removed it this year. It is back to basics with the latest models.

As to Micargi Bicycles inventory levels are at a high that I haven't seen in a couple of years. I"m not sure if that is good planning on their part (because they have bicycles this time of year when other manufactures do not) of poor planning in that some of these seem to be left over from the Christmas season and others are bikes arriving considerably earlier than the actual season commencement.

Either way this is summing up to be a fantastic bicycle season. With the economy in the dumps bicycling and picnics would be a great way to safe some cash and still have a wonderful family outing.

I recently received the Firmstrong Urban Ladies Beach Cruiser (Vanilla) I ordered via your Website and all I have to say is, WOW!

The bike is immaculate and the quality is outstanding. Not to mention the price is very reasonable.

I looked around for this type of bike all over Orange County and everyone’s prices were at least $250-$500.I’ll be sure to spread the word around Newport that if anyone is looking to buy a bike, just go to www. JustBicycles.com.

Bicycle Mechanic as a Career?

Found on the web.

Because bicycling is popular as a form of exercise and recreation as well as a means of transportation, specialized mechanics are in demand. They usually work for bicycle shops or for the bicycle departments of large sporting goods or department stores.

After determining what repairs or services are needed, mechanics give estimates and order any parts that are not kept in stock. They may have to adjust the frames or replace or repair major parts such as wheels or brakes. They also upgrade bicycles by adding special tires or pedals or customize bikes to fit their riders.

Mechanics also provide basic maintenance, such as cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting chains and hub bearings. In some shops, mechanics teach bike owners to do basic maintenance themselves.
Some mechanics specialize in racing bicycles. They are usually employed by large bicycle shops or by racing teams.

Education and Training Requirements

No formal training is required, but good mechanical and communication skills are necessary. On-the-job training is usually provided, and some manufacturers offer free repair courses for employees of stores that carry their products. Some vocational schools and high school shop classes teach bicycle repair.

Getting the Job

Job seekers can apply directly to bicycle shops or to the bicycle departments of large stores. Many repairers contact the bike shops they patronize.

Advancement Possibilities and Employment Outlook

Bicycle mechanics may become sales representatives for manufacturers. They may also be promoted to shop or department managers, or they may open their own shops.
The demand for bicycle mechanics is expected to grow as fast as the average for all occupations through 2014.

Working Conditions

Mechanics generally work in rooms set aside at the back of bicycle shops. They use a variety of spare parts and tools such as air hoses and racks for mounting bicycles. They may use electronic monitoring equipment to make adjustments.

The demand for mechanics is often seasonal. Many mechanics work part time or only on weekends when their services are most in demand.
