  1. You could put up notices at supermarkets. However, let people know that you do this as a hobby and are not a licensed mechanic. Otherwise, you could get into trouble if you do something wrong. You might have to replace a part or a whole bike.
  2. Stop asking this question. I would never let a 13 year old near my bike.
  3. Wouldn't you have money from fixing peoples bikes to put an Ad in the paper ? Just wondering.
  4. i'm older and i tried to do that...it didn't pay i started buying bikes from 2nd hand stores cheap to make one good bike out of two broken ones,etc i had a garage facing a pretty good busy street, open the door, people could see many bikes,etc.i didn't advertise, it was just a hobby. i'd sell some and buy more. my problem was turning a profit. people don't want to pay a lot for what i invested... dang inner tubes and parts i didn't have cost more than i could recover from in the sale. and i'm not a good businessman, just handy i don't mean to discourage you, others turned same thing into solid business. the idea about advertising in grocery store bulletin boards,is good, also laundromats, etc good luck
