    I'd add Performance Bike, Nashbar, Altrec, REI, Speedgoat, Colorado Cyclist, and Campmor to the list. Google is helpful when you're looking for a deal because it will pull up the prices at various retailers if you Google a specific item. A lot of these retailers offer online coupons, too, so it pays to sign up with them. If you've had your eye on something, wait until they offer a percentage off coupon and then snag it. Year-end and off season sales are good, too. You're much more likely to get good deals on winter apparel right now, for instance, than come November/December.

    On sale at LBS, TJ Maxx here sometimes gets stuff in, and our Goodwill sometimes gets some cool jerseys (one of the perks of living in Denver, I guess!). My marathon group and mountain bike club both get discounts at local stores so that helps too.

    I'm too picky to buy stuff online unless I've tried it on somewhere first.

    I think the only things I've bought from LBSes have been socks and gloves. (Well, not counting the one jersey from a bike shop in Arizona--they had a decent selection of women's clothes.)

    TE, Amazon (well, Backcountry and Bikesomewhere via Amazon), Performance, and Primal Wear (direct) are my usual sources. I don't buy that much because I'm not riding a whole lot these days, but as it gets warmer...I should probably buy another pair of shorts!
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I have a couple of jerseys from Voler, too. But, DH trolls the internet for this stuff. It's not directly from Voler.
    We buy all of our bike accessories and parts on line, mostly from Performance, but once in awhile from another place. My DH was even pictured in the Performance Catalog, back in maybe 2003, back when he was buying a ton of stuff to support DS racing (i.e. crash=new parts).
    I guess I found a couple of brands that fit me and stuck to them. I have had to return very little. I do try to support local businesses, generally, but there is no way I am going to pay 120.00 for a jersey.

    I'm finding that you can spend a small fortune on cycling or a large fortune! I'm also finding that lately I couldn't care less about shopping for work clothes--which is a HUGE change for me. I've always been a clotheshorse. I'm much more interested in shopping for workout clothes these days.

    When it comes to cycling clothing, I've found that the three LBSs around me don't have much selection. I prefer REI, and I've been stalking Ebay for jerseys, but there's something slightly icky about the idea of cycling shorts on ebay.

    Speaking of REI, does anyone know if they price match? I've found the cycling shoes I think I want online for $15 less than REI charges. I want to try them on before purchasing. I'm thinking of going to my local store and bringing the printout of the site where I found them cheaper.
