Austin has like 20 bike shops. At least.

I actually LOVE going down to Barton Springs and Lamar and hitting Bicycle Sport Shop, Jack and Adams, and Austin Tri-Cyclist on a Saturday afternoon. They are all within half a mile of each other. There is nothing but a McDonalds between BSS and Jack and Adam's.

Can hit Austin Bikes on the way in and Mellow Johnny's on the way out, and I'm a happy bike shopper. There is even an REI there too. These are all within a small area in downtown Austin. Walking distance to all.

It's like going to car dealerships that build all together. The call it the motor mile in south austin. A whole bunch of car dealerships all next door to each other.

I'm more likely to walk into ANY of these bike shops because they are ALL right there. They all get a little of my money. =)
