Finding Their Own Business Cycle
Kiplinger's Personal Finance

Opening a bike shop let this couple turn their passion into a new career.
PROFILE
WHO: Diane Cutler, 53, interviewed, and Andy Zivinsky, 47
WHERE: Bryson City, N.C.
WHAT: Owners, Bryson City Bicycles
Why open a bike shop?
We are lifelong bicyclists. I rode across the U.S. when I was 20, and Andy was an accomplished BMX racer as a kid. Andy had mechanical prowess and friends who owned a bike shop, so he thought a shop would work. I was against it. I’d been in bike shops my whole life, and I was never treated with respect. It was a “boys’ club” kind of thing. But Andy said we could be inclusive.
