I think its the high rents and subsequently the rates that make it so hard to do and make a living out of it
Sky high rents and rates and everything is cheaper on the Internet
These are exactly the problems. The rent problem is really exaggerated in Brighton.
BTW... Paul of Rule 5 Bikes couldn't make the shop work for this very reason, but is now going great guns being the "mobile bike mechanic". He comes to you. Check out his FB page: https://en-gb.facebook.com/rule5bikes/
His cargo bike setup is really impressive. Pretty much everything he needs (including portal bike stand) is on there. He re-cabled my MTB from it just the other day. Forgive the shameless plug, but maybe give him some love (and business)!

yeah its not great is it, I think its the high rents and subsequently the rates that make it so hard to do and make a living out of it.
I think my first proper bike when I were a nipper came from freedom bikes (or a bike shop on that street at least) back around 1987... sad times
