Outlook
Growth for bicycle repairers is expected to be about as fast as average. People are becoming more concerned about the environment and choosing to ride bikes as an alternative form of transportation. As gas prices rise many people cannot afford to drive as much. In addition, many retirees are riding bikes for exercise or entertainment.
Some people repair and maintain their own bicycles, however, some riders lack the time or interest to do so. Job prospects are best for bicycle repairers with formal training.
