We get a lot of people in mentioning the horrible service at a few of the LBS's actually.

I'd love to work at Richmond Recycles, but I'm moving back to Toronto finally. Hopefully I'll be working at the Bikechain, which is run by UofT students and faculty.
I have heard some very bad reviews of a couple (one in particular) shops here in Richmond. I have not gone to those shops. I've only been to one shop here in the past year that I've lived here, and it was not negative, but not great (like my old shop outside of DC-Proteus rocks!) I do most of my basic work myself, and I haven't need to buy anything lately, so I've been lucky that way.

Best of luck in Toronto! Richmond will miss losing a competent and nice bike shop employee who also happens to be a woman!
