    You walk into a shop that sells mountain bikes and ask "excuse me kind sir, do you have any jobs going?"

    You''ll generally get a response within 5 - 10 seconds :wink:
  • You could get yourself all lycra'd up and stand in your local riding spots car park with a sign advertising your services??

    I would recommend doing some lunges as well to really drum up business.

    Sorry for the blunt response but...

    1. You have to find the job not it find you
    2. skills and requirements are totally different for the type of job you want - eg. different for a bike journalist job as opposed to a bike mechanic job
