LBS are like ANY other businesses, there are good ones and bad ones. THE GOOD ONES dont care what you ride, they care about you riding regardless of brand. I am so very blessed with a local shop that’s main goal is not to sell bikes but to bring the cycling community together, it was started by a guy I hardly knew but I took the time to get to know him better and his reasons for starting a shop. He has been in business now for 3 years and gives back to the local community. We have our local MTB club meetings there, the local city counsel attends the meetings at times to get public input on city projects, bike lanes, new single track projects for multiuse trails.
Fact is if he is a bit higher than internet prices I will still spend the money in the shop to support a local business that supports the local cycling community.
Dont get one of those nasty Canyons , get ya a Rocky Mountain!!
