I always like to read/hear about those venturing into self employment and I think it's great.

I'm not sure what specifically it is that your new business will be selling or offering, but I can tell you that I live in Myrtle Beach, SC and we have three annual bike rallies and the revenue from bike and bike related vendors is phenomenal! These events draw hundreds of thousands of bike enthusiasts and although I have never been around bikes, I can tell you that there is a market out there for bike related businesses. So best of luck to you and your business team.
