Let's see, you'll work all weekends, holidays, and you'll be working instead of riding whenever the weather is good. You'll probably just break even on your investment.
That said, it could still be worth it for the quality of life. If anyone should be in the biz it's someone with corporate M&A experience and financial literacy. Most bike shops that fail are people without a shred of business sense - those folks don't stand a chance. No "head mechanic" should ever run a shop unless they've got unusual amount of biz sense.
Ah hell, just go for it!
