Well, I don’t really know about that (about me anyways). Thanks for the compliment however.

If I ever need a job in the future, can I come learn how to fix bicycles? I really don’t see me sitting around an office all day pushing a pencil.

I did teach a guy who needed to be able to fix his own bicycle. He even came back to learn more, when a different part of his bike failed him. But it won’t get you a job. And even if it did get you a job, it won’t pay enough to move to the place that would hire you. But every town needs someone who can fix a bike. They just can’t all afford to pay for it. When I rode across Kansas in 1986, every small town had a retired guy who fixed bikes in his garage for those who could find him.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube to get you started. Then trial-and-error will teach you the rest. That’s best practiced on someone else’s bike. Buy a few tools, and you’ll be set. Then get a job so you can eat.
