LBS says so much more to me. My local bike shop is where I go for advice when TE is closed. Ooops, make that vice versa.

They're who made my old bike fit perfectly with just a new set of bars. They're who I cry with when I forgot that my custom road bike was on the roof of the car. They give me good advice and steer me clear of bad retail therapy.

My favorite shops are much more than a "retailer".
