LBS - love them or hate them?

[badgercat]

I've found a couple lovely LBSs since I moved here in August, but I can't always afford to buy clothes/accessories/what have you from them.

Love the LBS for actually purchasing bikes, and going to talk bikes, and clothes when they have sweet sales and I can afford it, and supplies that I need pronto (like tubes) but... I do a lot of other shopping (particularly clothes) online, especially at reioutlet.com.

I voted bacon. I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself.

My LBS guys take good care of me.
