I'M BACK!!!!

Wow. Seems like my life is getting back to normal now. The last two years have taught me major life lessons. I've seen good and bad in people. I want to be one of the good ones, that's for sure.

Obviously, I have a new blog. You may see Johan is back from the grave!!!! After my cycling identity was ripped from me, I didn't like being called that. Too many memories, bad feelings, etc. But now, the time is right to bring Johan back.

I start a new job this Saturday. I am now back in the cycling world and will be working Saturdays and evenings at Olde Towne Fenton Cyclery. Nice growing shop. I am excieted to bring my years of experience to a new setting, new people. In the last years, I tried the traditional sales thing, with Brinks, Rebath and Helzberg Diamonds. I have my mind changed as to the selling process. Each of those companies had structured sales programs. I often wondered about how I could translate this and that into a bike selling situation. It seems like I now have a chance to do just that!

I haven't owned a bike in some time either. House payments were more important than bikes. Fortunately, I kept most of my clothes, helmets, etc. So, I just got a new bike, a Raleigh One Way. It's fixed geared and I'll use it for commuting to work and fitness rides of an hour or two. I put Shimano pedals on it, the ones that are SPD on one side and platform on the other. This way, I can commute the 3 miles in sneakers.



I'm stoked!

Obviously, the new blog and mindset will have lots of cycling posts. I'll still talk guitars, yoga and other things.

Glad to be back,

Johan
