Nathaniel Comerford turned a hobby into a side gig for extra cash when he opened up his bike repair business last month. Located inside the Recovery Cafe in Rochester, Comerford was by Recovery Cafe Fulton County Executive Director, Patt Brown. Bicycle repair has been one of the many things that's always reminded Comerford of the 'good old days' when he used to work alongside his father, who passed away in 2005.

Prior to joining the group at Recovery Cafe, however, thinking about the 'good old days,' had Comerford turning to alcohol as his only way of coping with the death of his dad.

Having something else to focus on has helped Comerford keep on the right path in sobriety. The recent warmer temperatures have also helped Comerford gain a few extra clients in the past few weeks. 

With hours and prices that are fair and flexible, for more information on Bike Repair by Nate you can call him at 574-835-6694.

Comerford said $40 will take care of most bike repair costs, depending on the bicycle's situation, and the parts that may need ordered. 

Putting his focus on repair and recovery with his business inside the Recovery Cafe, Comerford hopes to inspire others at the location as much as they have inspired him.

Having dreams that seem to grow alongside his sobriety, Comerford has high hopes for the future of his bike repair business.
