Monkman Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Looking at the possibility of changing my carrier from a jobs ive fallen into to a job that i have some passion about. At the moment im working for the prison service so the wages aren't to bad. I know ill be taking a pay cut to work in a shop but i have no idea what sort of wage a cycle tech pays. Im in Yorkshire, have no qualifications in cycles but do have 17 years of cycling as a hobby so getting certificates wouldn't be much trouble. Whats sort of wage are cyc techs on nowadays?

Duncy H Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 As said the wage is pretty crap. The real bonus point being that you can get bike parts much cheaper usually, also generally working with people you share a passion/hobby with and so I find the people great to work with. I've been mechanicing for a couple of years and and its not all glits and glamour but it does have its perk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
