Yeah, it was nice having Mission Bay in Elgin, but there are other shops as you ride around. A lot of them are on or near the Fox River bike path as you venture north (Bicycle Garage in E Dundee, Main Street Cycles in Carpentersville) or south (Mill Race in Geneva, Sammy's in St. Charles). Others like Village Pedaler off of Randall in S Elgin, Bicycle Heaven in Geneva, or Lucky Brake up in Crystal Lake.

Ride around the area, dig around on the net. Lots of good folks to help out.
