Who rides in the winter? Commuters. When I need something wrenched on quickly to get to work, I'll be angry that you aren't open at 8am. This doesn't have to be full staff, just one person to do quick things. If a repair is more than simple and quick, it can wait for the full staff.
After work you'll get repairs also. I could be completely wrong, but in my experience, you'll need to cater to a crowd if you want business in the winter. Other than commuters, there isn't much of a crowd to cater to.
The Bike Lane is open at 8am (on Milwaukee) and it's been great when I need something for my commute.
I would like it if shops were open atleast till 8pm. It seems that most shops close around 5pm during the winter and that does me no good.
Another way to look at this . . . .help vigorously promote year round cycling (think Bike Winter) to keep those costumers coming in.
