I'm considering a change of scenery for the winter months. I love the Boston area, but as many times as I've tried to convince people that 10 degrees isn't that cold or 6" of snow is still ridable, nobody else rides here in the winter. I'm thinking Naples Florida, I have some place to live there, and I figure I can put my hill climbing skills to use (that was a joke). I would love to find a job at some fit studio or bike shop that does fittings, I have a bit of experience doing that sort of thing, but there's a catch. Most fitting places have gone to some form of electronic fitting system, using computers and complex fitting bikes and lasers... My own shop now has that and to be honest, if I applied for a job there today I doubt I would get hired. I'm a fitter who understands cycling from the rider's viewpoint. It's more a question of how the rider uses the tool (uh, we're talking about the bike here) vs. the more common fitting approach which is how to fit the tool to it's user.

Somehow I don't think Floridians are ready to fall into their pedals...
