Yes having 2 businesses ourselves I know exactly what you mean.  As long as you have your health though, things are okay  :)

Thats a real shame Robin. I had a couple of mates buy bikes off you a while ago & they had nothing but positive things to say about the experience...Best wishes.

Really sorry to hear about that. Overheads, especially insurance keeps going up and it seems every year there is more and more little things and costs to keep a small business going. I see more vacant comercial buildingscthan ever before. But our govt keeps saying its fine. I have never seen it so quiet in the last 30 years in the business i am in around Sydney.

Robin,
         I am very sorry to hear your bad news, I hope the closure is not a financial burden to you and that you can move forward and still be active in the sport. Tough times for now, but things can turn around in the future. Good luck to you and onward and upward.

Sorry to hear that Robin.  I had to close my business about 2 years ago, really stressful times. 

Make sure that if your are feeling stressed/depressed that you go and see someone (doctor, counsellor etc),  I did eventually and wish I had done it earlier.
