hee hee, my personal fav. hills in A2 are on Joy Road... ironically named, if you ask me! but that hill on state down to the amtrak station... fun if there are no cars coming up to the intersection! the cobbles/ bricks are bearable if you´re on a mtb. not so fun coming back from a ride, though. and the hill by the med center is hell after hitting the Local Loop (mtb).
i lived off of miller road last summer... wooo-ee, that was a fun commute! great way to wake up, but coming home that hill was not so fun.
hmm, I used to go to TWT, their mechanics are awesome (one guy-- Pat i think-- sat and explained to me exactly how to pull a crank off for a good half hour... and didn´t charge me! those guys are awesome).
Great Lakes was always really rude to me. and i mean *really* rude.
*however* neither of these stores will sponsor UM´s cycling team-- we´re sponsored by Dexter Bike and Sport, so i suppose next year i´ll go there.
