Hence the reason I drive 2 hours to Raleigh or 5 hours to Charlotte to go to my preferred bike stores. The one in Charlotte used to be LBS before we moved. We loved them and we always stop in there when we go back. For some things I will go to my local LBS, but not for other things. We have a really nice one about 45 minutes away and another one an hour away, but both of them are more beach crusier rental bike shops. So for most things if I want to see/try on/get fit ect, we'll be driving to Raleigh to go to one of two bike stores there.
