I spent several days there trying out different bikes, and the fellows there were great to assist. I rode LWB, SWB CLWB and even rode a catrike tadpole trike. This was well worth my time, but when I got home I still had to drive 6 hours to get to a shop that carried the bike I settled on. Hands on is the only way and definately worth the investment.
