These bikes were for friends and a neighbour . They would have been classed as uneconomical repairs . The bikes had been neglected for years and had accumulated rust and caked on dirt and grease .
The time I spent working on them worked out as pennies per hour which excluded ordering and collecting parts .
I know what is like when it came to insurance when I repaired cars . So many limitations,certain cars excluded, any welding had to be watched for half an hour . Plus the cost !

Good luck when one of them sues you because the brake failed or something.
Financial gain from any sort of repair work done makes you liable as I'm sure you know.

Coffee is probably easier to drink if you pour it in a mug.

One of the local Avian population is sitting on the chimney and telling it's compatriots all about it. The noise is being amplified down the chimney so it sounds like I've got a Crow in the stove.

I bet a good number of people have started up businesses by doing work for other people and friends .
Have you ever asked a friend to fix your car ,plumbing, plastering , your computer ?
I checked that things were working fully before returning the bikes to their owners .
I haven't taken work from cycle shops , I have given them sales from parts . The condition that the bikes were in would have made most places say that they were uneconomical to repair .

Morning .
I won't be making hot drinks for anyone in case they spill it and sue me !

Likewise I won't be making packed lunches , buying takeaways for people in case of food poisoning !
