Don't get the bike filthy during a test ride. This can require a lot of puddle dodging here in Portland.
Ask permission before pulling a bike down from the top rack? I don't really know how LBS owners actually feel about this, but I always ask because I've seen some people bang bars and pedals a little roughly doing this, and sometimes the employees prefer to do it themselves for this reason.
