i am not really sure where i can post this since i do not have privileges to post in the want to buy section.

i will be starting a bike club on my college campus next year and will bet budgting money for it. and want to know were i can buy bulk tires, preferable assorted sizes if they do that. also would it be cheaper to get them online or should i talk to my local shops. if online can you send me some links of sites that would do such things

Check with your local bike shops first. You may be able to find one that will simply place a large order and resell it to your club with minimal markup, if it lets them capture some new clients. If you do find a shop willing to work with you, be sure to give them as much of your business as you can. That's what keeps this industry moving.

You're not likely to build a relationship with an online retailer, but your local shop can help with repairs, training, and possibly support when it comes to events.
