I enjoy shopping via the internet and wish more bike brands allowed it. Most local bike shops do not post prices or list what bikes are in stock on their web pages. Many big name bike brands don't allow selling over the internet or shipping direct to customers. I'd love to be able to "window shop" from my home, and visit a place that has a bike I'm interested in, or just buy it with a click. If you want to buy a quality bike on the internet, you are limited to bikesdirect brands or QBP brands for the most part. Bikesdirect does sell in a straightforward way. The policies of many major bike brands limit choice and competition.
