Yes, once 360 Cycleworks closed I started losing my paycheck to BSS. I work right next to the North location (TROUBLE!) and they have had next to nothing in turn over for the past two years. The weekday crew is always the same and the assistant manager always asks if I still like the bike fit she did a year ago. She doesn't know my name (I don't think) but she knows my bike. I like the selection at the Central BSS better than any shop in town.Originally Posted by fixedgeargirl
Funny story about Central BSS.... It used to be Austin Bowlarama, my mom was there watching my dad bowl the night before I was born. My parents have always been avid bowlers and I spent most of my infant-toddler days in the nursery. I was born to come to BSS.

Read some print ink about the shop in one of my monthly magazines. Just can't remember which one...Men's Health, Women's Health, Runners, Bicycle, Outside, Backpacker or one of the others that I read from cover to cover each month.
