Newspaper clipping: Bugatti sports bicycle
This newspaper clipping comes from a mention in the local newspaper Ugeavisen and is most likely from around 1985. It was published after an event at Cykelkælderen in Struer, where Bugatti’s range was presented as part of an open house.
At the time I worked at the bicycle shop as a “bicycle mechanic”. It started as an after-school part-time job, but quickly developed. The shop was only open in the afternoons because the owner, Bent, worked at the slaughterhouse in Lemvig during the day.
I convinced him that we should run it full time, and that I would handle both the workshop and the shop every day until he came home from work in the afternoon. That gave me the opportunity to leave school, which the school accepted.
Later we also started selling mopeds and spare parts and doing repairs. I ran the workshop and the shop on my own until the owner came home from work in the afternoon.
That continued until I joined Bang & Olufsen’s toolmaker department as a shop helper.
