My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”

The success of a garbage bicycle business depends on various factors, including the quality of service, the availability of resources, the pricing structure, and the ability to market the business. Quality service is essential for a successful garbage business, as customers need to be confident that the level of professionalism is as high (if not higher) than a brick-and-mortar location. This could be a value the current market is looking for and less stress of doing business.
