Bike shops are really a good place to see through "the free market will set labor prices adequately" lie that right-libertarian types like to spout though. Every single bike shop I've applied to and especially#REI where I used to work is desperate for mechanics, but also unwilling to pay for them. I think that's partially because traditional bike shops are just a bad business model in the U.S. and partially because of the usual problems with the owner/employee divide.
