The Truth About Owning a Bike Shop

[@B1keN3rd]

My first lesson was, you spend more time keeping others on the road than yourself. Four years strong.

[@sjf1981]

Well said

[@bicyclist2]

I've wanted to start my own bike shop for years. I have over 25 years experience working on bikes. I would have liked to hear from the interviewees. This was still interesting. Thank you.

For someone who's still studying and does not really know what to do with his life (me), this is really motivational. Zach, your videos are great!

[@LMatthewBowler]

I remember one time Dave not only promised to refund my money if his work was bad, but also to shave off his eyebrows... that's service... Retrogression is a great shop run by great people

[@250garbear]

ive heard that up to 70 percent of bicycle shop owners have a secret apartment in the back where they give kids wine and banana splits. I saw that at the end of a very special Different Strokes episode.

[@jamistrickland4484]

I'm 54 and have been in many great trades, recently injured my back in the ( Construction Industry) and now looking to go back to work in bike shops. I feel like the most common thread in my life has always been the bicycle and I want to take the chance of going back to the start and taking a pay cut for passion.

[@Niftym50]

video idea: should you run the red light?

[@klarkolofsson]

In many cases I treat them as I would do when walking.

[@smallerfreeze]

bicycling is simple... if the coast is clear move... if cars are coming dont... sometimes i just sit at red lights in the bike lane to catch a breather... really it comes down to complete situational awareness.. keep your head on a swivel and stay safe... the rest is the freedom of riding

[@BanacaNation]

Idaho Stop Law is the best practice I think.

[@sicsempertyrannis9024]

full speed

[@eltito2099]

Such a good video! Thanks to share your experience with us Zach! Have a nice day 😀

[@mikekilburn3552]

LOL I'm starting my business the same way out of my studio apartment with no damn money restoring old bikes I find. Thanks to this video that guy is my new hero

[@JeremyLCrabtree]

You neglected to mention that Scrod's shop was originally in Beverly, MA when it opened.

[@littlegoobie]

10-13 hours per week, 6 days per week. hmmm. that must be a cycling week which contains sub weeks.

[@bigsteve5372]

I caught that too !!! I was like WTF

[@christose9247]

lmao why you gotta snitch on him!

[@josephfolse6650]

Really enjoy this type of video. I'm sure that a lot of people that watch your videos (like me) want to become entrepreneurs. So thank you for this!

[@esquatzel]

2:22 in, you finally start talking.

[@damonthomas8955]

Zack, your right eye is much higher than your left eye, is that a result of riding fixed wheel?

[@0fficer47]

great quote at the end there.

[@uchidaoginome]

Did you get any of these interviews on tape or...?

[@mikekilburn3552]

Doing something that I don't care about.. the best words ever said if you don't care about what you're doing it's not worth doing it all.

[@Numantino312]

hey Zach, because you mention wanting to be in business for yourself, search on here: "Elliott Hulse, Non Job Revolution"; and thanks for posting his up!

[@flawlessbutdysfunctional7787]

The owner of the bike shop behind my house sits on a wheelchair all business day

[@slimsassi2513]

how to go from on line business to a shop with fixed address?

[@weenisw]

Scrod goin' up

[@vankind8547]

you can do anything when you put your mind to it..also it helps not to be flaky✌😆

[@robquins5243]

Thanks for the link of the Retrogression Store !!!!

[@velyokukov]

if you are called Gallardo, do you have a Lamborghini Gallardo?

[@yendoradon7836]

You get an “A” for your class.

[@mikewarner2971]

This is my new account after being hacked don’t know how I missed this years ago on my other account I sold my niner ripmo I use to do enduro but went back to my favorite bike state core line frame and Been riding that alone for 3 years just broke my enve seat post so orderd from retrogression Thomson masterpiece and alter midnight cog and lock ring ( don’t think I will go back to carbon)

[@soydelrancho]

People confuse the word entrepreneur with creating a job for themselves. Entrepreneurship is finding a need on the market an opportunity having a vision not physically working 80 hours and creating more job for themselves. I see a lot of those mistakes in the construction industry and or Restaurants.

[@SSToor]

Correct, owning a bike shop is a small business, Entrepreneurs create solutions to new problems.

[@bikemaurice1953]

Its' hard to compete with Amazon ans WalMart. But, respect to those who are making it :-)

[@daeganpatterson9630]

Call your shop gallardo bikes

[@3434rocky]

[@macmurfy2jka]

How’s work for the man working out for you?

[@nselenkou]

[@brano6369]

How ironic is it that Paul Anka actually wrote the lyrics of "My way" that Frank Sinatra got famous for... Still, cool lyrics&cool song nonetheless

[@jeffheisenberg3943]

love your videos

[@橋本絵莉子]

A bit too much overdone "hard"-work is not to build a bike-company this is very far from being "hard", hard work is when you do mining somewhere in africa and the work is so hard you die in 5-10 years Only because of doing this work - so lets respect people doing really work HARD and who are already fucking dead because they have worked hard and did never see much money for doing so and other people do get rich by standing on their rotten bones.

[@recyclespinning9839]

Good point, so starting a business may be risky ,, but when you think of really hard jobs , then don't complaine or be afraid !!!!

[@tenzin4997]
