          I've got some decent smithing skills, I'd go looking for bog iron and skip the bronze age.

            Well, cavemen also need tech support, just a different kind of tech.

            Gork: "Stick go thud. I want go stab"
            Pepsison: "Have you tried rebooting it?"
            Gork: "?"
            Pepsison: "Sorry, old habit" Sharpens his spear "try it now"
            Gork: "Gork happy. Gork bring you mammoth"

                The hard part about a simple bicycle isn't actually the bicycle, it's smooth road. If you don't have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one's not even a 100 years old.

                  I'd probably be something of a builder/ "engineer."

                  I'm not actually an engineer, but I have a knack for utilizing what I have around me or simple enough objects to serve other goals. I suppose I'm what people used to call a Macgyver or "mechanically inclined."

                          I'm good with plants, I'm observant, I like stargazing, I'm a good de-escalator. I'd probably an elder and end up doing some type of weather forecasting.

                                  Cave wall art. Carving trinkets and talismans. Might branch out into making spear tips, arrowheads, axes, stuff like that.

                                      You reckon the stuff back then was potent enough that people would buy it?
