I will also add that my local bike shop guy may well be certified and knows what he's doing well enough but could use a refresher coarse on customer relations and ethics. He's kinda a snob at times.

Ok, so Bicycle MECHANIC = Smoopy
All the rest of us are just "bicycle grease monkeys" :mrgreen:

I think to be an official Mechanic, you have to wear a big "S" or "B" on your chest!

 

[kingfish254]

Only if you are a BiSickel Repairman!

Keep up the good work Youthgeye, I don't care what you call yourself...At least you take the time out to help & teach the kids...That's a + in my book...
It's sad to think you can't help or fix things for people these days,all because they might sue...
I live in a world where this doesnt happen yet!!!...
Kids make homemade motorbikes out of junk bikes and ride around with no helmet...
