Career change

I have worked in same job now for 5 years, the pay is good only work 4 days a week (Lucky) but the all important I hate it. Solution I love bikes so im thinking about doing a course to be a bike instructor. Has anyone been down this line or now where to get started.

no, but im thinking along those lines. . .
ive had my licence less than a year so i think i need to wait a bit more.

im not sure but i think you must have held your licence for at least three and a half years.

My mate used to be a courier. Reckons it long hours for not a lot of money these days, but if you are stuck for work it's worth thinking about

You will need a suitable bike (not many courior companies supply the bikes...) as you wouldn't want to subject your P&J to all that abuse....

Don't think I'd fancy it, rather save my riding for when I want to.

But I'm not riding at the moment (not insured, can't afford it). But if I was earning more than I am now I may be able to afford to run the bike

I love made up words. There should be a dictionary equivalent of Pop acedemy or big brother where we get to vote and keep a silly word in the dictionary forever.

There are a great deal of silly words in there that no-one ever uses (not even scrabble champions) so a few more wont hurt.
