I have heard terrible stories about the rude behavior of these shop owners. Yet with thirty miles left of my 400 mile tour, I broke a spoke. I was less than ten miles away from this Bicycle Shop* so I decided to cruise in for a spoke replacement and wheel truing. Even though they stock mostly toy bikes this job is rather easy stuff for a decent wheelman. After 5-10 minutes of being ignored by shopkeepers (doing nothing), I was asked what I needed. I was told that it would ""take a long time and cost a lot of money"". I decided not to jump on that offer and said ""No thanks"". The do-nothing crew berated and mocked me as I continued out their doors for the last time, simply ignoring the asinine and childish remarks. My guess is that they did not recognize the quality of my bike and they don't care for or know anything about bike touring. If you care about your bike keep it away from these buffoons.
Pros: open sunday
Cons: These are rude shiftless creeps that do not know about biking.
