Je\u015bli nie wiedzia\u0142, jak co\u015b zrobi\u0107, ogl\u0105da\u0142 filmy na YouTube.

Two clients were waiting for me even before I arrived, \u2014 Viktor recounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He started his activities in the new country with mobile orders, but after a month, he rented an apartment with a basement \u2014 this allowed him to take bicycles for servicing. He also had no problems finding work in his specialty \u2014 Viktor almost immediately got a job at one of the bicycle service centers in Gda\u0144sk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"we-dont-need-a-second-room\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cWe don\u2019t need a second room\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After some time, Viktor met a girl \u2014 the couple decided to move in together and rented a two-room apartment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 Na pocz\u0105tku naprawia\u0142em rowery w g\u0142\u00f3wnym pomieszczeniu, gdzie spali\u015bmy. Pojawi\u0142 si\u0119 stojak do zawieszenia roweru, a ja zebra\u0142em kilka narz\u0119dzi. Potem pomy\u015bleli\u015bmy, \u017ce tak naprawd\u0119 nie potrzebujemy drugiego pokoju do \u017cycia i codziennych spraw.

Narz\u0119dzia mieszcz\u0105 si\u0119 w jednej walizce, ale do rozwi\u0105zania bardziej skomplikowanych problem\u00f3w technicznych potrzebny jest specjalistyczny sprz\u0119t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 Co miesi\u0105c kupuj\u0119 kolejne narz\u0119dzie z mojej g\u0142\u00f3wnej pensji. Teraz mam w domu wszystko, co znajdziesz w zwyk\u0142ym serwisie rowerowym. Nawet nie wiem, co bardziej mnie pasjonuje: rowery czy sprz\u0119t, \u2014 przyznaje Viktor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the home workshop even has a special parts washer and a wheel truing stand. In the foreseeable future, Viktor plans to buy a compressor \u2014 he will most likely place it in the wardrobe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_65039\"><img  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Bicycle workshop\"  class=\"wp-image-65039 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/mostmedia.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/velo-4_result.webp\" ><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bicycle workshop in the apartment.

People learn about the master through social media, chats, and word of mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 Przep\u0142yw jest po prostu szalony. Ale nie mam du\u017cego obrotu, poniewa\u017c wracam do domu z pracy i mog\u0119 pracowa\u0107 nad rowerami [w domu] tylko wieczorami. Mog\u0119 zrobi\u0107 maksymalnie jeden rower wieczorem, \u2014 wyja\u015bnia Viktor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most often, the master provides a comprehensive bicycle servicing.

To zas\u0142uga dobrze rozwini\u0119tej infrastruktury rowerowej w mie\u015bcie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 I would say that in Gda\u0144sk, bicycles are more popular than cars. There can literally be traffic jams on the bike paths<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, the flow of clients to Gda\u0144sk bicycle workshops is ensured. However, this activity still remains seasonal \u2014 most people seek repairs in spring and summer. Viktor advises taking bicycles for repairs in winter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 W lecie wszyscy wyci\u0105gaj\u0105 swoje rowery i zdaj\u0105 sobie spraw\u0119, \u017ce co\u015b nie dzia\u0142a.
