With the attitude of the sales people, they certainly wont sell many bents, unless someone comes in and specifically asks if they sell any. I guess I don't understand the attitude. With that attitude, bents will remain a 1 or 2 percent of total bike sales
Oh well all of us that ride bent know the advantages of bents, and it will be up to us to spread good news of bent ridding.
Same attitude I got from the only LBS in town - when I bought my DF from them.... needless to say, I go to the LBS 2 towns over now. It is a
family run LBS. Father and 3 sons and they don't care what you ride as long as it is pedal powered. They happily work on it and get you what ever you want to buy. I only wish I knew about them before when I rode DF and before I'd bought my 2 bents.
