That's a great shop. I double flatted on the way to work one day and shouldered my bike a few blocks as I only had one tube. The shop wasn't supposed to open for 2 more hours, but someone (who was inside doing payroll) saw me outside and opened up just so I could get a tube and use their floor pump. It's little things like that that earn lifelong customers.
