My perception is that very few specialized hourly jobs start above $20-25, and when I hear business owners talk they seem to feel that's robbery (it isn't). Without any research or context, I'd expect a first-time bike mechanic job to pay $18-22 depending on the city. The ski shops nearby are advertising ski tech jobs around $16 and calling it "better than competitive pay"
