I am probably moving out to Victoria within the next year. I lived there in the late 70's early 80's and have been in Waterloo, Ontario since. I work in a bike store and would like to know if you Vancouver Island folks have any ideas as to who has the best bike shop in the Victoria area. I have been selling cycling to people for many years and your input may help me to find another place where I can spread the word of the bicycle to others. I am very good at what I do and cycling community involvement is extremly important to me. Thanks for any help that you can provide.

I've been in Victoria for about 3 years now. I've been very happy with Fairfield Bicycle. They have never said no to any question or request, and have often spent an hour or more with me to help me pick out a part that eventually cost $20. They've relaced a wheel, told me how I could fix my bike when I asked them (in great detail), and sold my wife a great bike. All in all I have to recommend them.
