a lot depends on the individuals. Bike shop folks can be opinionated ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L1m1QIFTtg is a pretty amusing depiction of one of our local character who professes that he's "fired a few customers.")

Still, I see this going in one of two directions: if you don't bring this in there, you may start buying stuff for it online more... you could drift further from the shop and more to online... not good for their business.

I'm going to be arrested for metaphor abuse but:

YOu aren't married to the bike shop, but you feel you've 'cheated' on it. Welp, it doesn't have to be the end of the relationship YOu just had needs that were met by somebody else for a little while... and they bore fruit... so you're asking the bike shop to help you take care of the 'baby' but ... you're payin' them to do it. It's not love, it's business. Kinda like if you got your hair done by another hairdresser - you can still go back to the original and patch things up?
