Bicycles Stores/Colombia Hoodies

Item 1

Could someone recommend stores that
could use certified bicycle mechanics in
Bogota? I have a diploma in bicyle mechanics and would like to put it to use.
Major bicycle store chains,specialty shops
and sporting good stores would be appropriate.

Item 2

Where could I get Colombia hoodies
jackets by mail order state side or in Colombia? I like those jackets
that have the yellow top and the blue
and red at the bottom. Not expensive
items but not the cheap stuff you can
buy at souvenier stores.

I have a few suggestions. . . look for "montaña & accesorios" http://www.montanaaccesorios.com/ they are one of the best colombian mountain apparels factories in colombia. But if you need it on cotton, check this out: www.jeansandjackets.com , or check this out:

http://bogotacompra.com/Bogota/tiendas-baxter-c15362.html

maybe you can bought it online. . . you have to check.

David, what CC said was that GIB nailed it. Meaning that he gave you a straight and accurate answer about how much money you can expect to make working as a bicycle mechanic in Bogotá. Now, if you just want to repair bikes as a hobby in Colombia while living on a fixed income from the States, then sure, go ahead.
