1.photograph all bikes for selling, with dimensions, history, specs
2. open a web page
3. get in contact with Sustrans/LCC (is there a bike project/new bike route/train station that would be interested in having the bikes?)
4. sell stuff on ebay, even with p&p most people will pay for what they are looking for
5. build some bike racks with roof so that they have some level of protection
6. design your workshop so customers (buyers) can see their bikes being worked on and have someone lovely to talk to etc while ‘real’ work is being done in the back

basically he needs some help organising his business/business plan…

This guy has a lot of stuff that needs to be organized, so there has to be some bikers there that would volunteer to help him out and sort through his things, sounds like he's all by himself. He probably needs some shelving and re-organization. He's done such a nice service to the biking community by recycling and fixing old bikes (even though he's running a buisness) that I feel like he needs some volunteers and not shut down for 3 months. I'd help him out. Interesting podcast.

A look into "Use it up, wear it out. Make do, or do without". I loved this story. I hope he continues to rebuild bikes. He has a grand passion for it. Reports like this are the reason I listen.
