Bike Shop
With the economy in a slump, a bike shop may be a good
place to be working. Because gas prices have been very high over the
past year, consumers have been looking for alternative means of transportation.
Although gas prices fell in the fall of 2008, analysts expect the price
of gas to rise again.
In addition, a bike shop that services bikes will gain additional business.
As consumers show a reluctance to spend, they are likely to bring a
bike in for repair. A $30 tune-up may be more appealing than a $300
bike.
A bike shop may also see financial success as people try to keep in
shape. Physical health is a way to fight stress. Staying in good mental
and physical shape will be important to consumers in these difficult
times.
