...they hand you the keys and ask you to look after the shop for a weekend so they can go do a race.

Anyone else had something similar? Anyone got any last minute advice?

You walk off into the sunset with one of the partners.

You'll be asked to mend punctures all day then 15mins before closing someone will come in with something serious that they want fixing for their event on Sunday.

I have been invited to sleep inside a bike shop in advance of an early morning ride start the next day, but passed it up. A bunch of others did though.

A friend had a small bike shop inside Tring Garden Centre.

That must have been a while ago! We've been in the area 20 years and I don't recall one there.
