So, Performance is really that way everywhere?
So, Performance is really that way everywhere?
What way? that they usually have shoes on sale? I guess so. They always seem to have a bunch of pairs at the two stores around here that have been in the store so long that they've been way marked down. That's how I got my Sidi's. They are Sidi Genius shoes, but they are '04's or '03's (nice color, silver with light blue) and I bought them in '06 so they'd been in the store for several years until they were down to $30. I wear a very small size though (like a 4.5 -5), so not too many people out there are looking for them.

No, I meant you referred to Performance as the "dreaded Performance". I went there and it was crazy, disorganized, crowded... but I have to say with a little work I got everything I needed and some knowledgeable advice.
I love my local Performance shop. I bought my bike there because it's in the shopping center immediately next to my apartment complex and between work and home. Infinitely more convenient than any other LBS in the Atlanta area. There's a lot of knowledge in the shop, and some great folks there. I love their satisfaction guarantee - The manager recommended that I trade up from my hybrid after I was complaining about being unable to keep up with my road-biking friend. He's truly dedicated to his customers' satisfaction and I really appreciate that in any store!
My new biking mantra:
I am attached to my bike. If I start to slow down, I need to unclip. If I do not unclip, I will fall. If I unclip, I will hurt myself less if I do fall.
