I visit 5.My main shop the owner is my age and we get along well.Here is a sample of what he is like.I bought a new bike at another shop,on sale really good price.I. had him do a tune up.He took the bike apart and reassembled it.Said it wasn't done right.Told me to get on it and he made sure it fit me.When other regulars came in he said look at that bike what a deal he got.I honestly felt awkward cause wasn't sure how he would react not buying the bike from him.There is one high end shop I go to where everyone is under 30.I don't trust anyone under 30. They try to sell me stuff I don't want even after I tll them what I do want.Shop 3 after several trips the younger owner is warming up to me.I just wish he spoke better english some bike stuff gets lost in translation.One day he was talking about a classic bike and I heard plastic bike.Shop 4 Father -son team almost.The father is very forgetful and has to run everything by the son,it is punishment whenever I go in there.The son told me off once.Because I didn't buy a bike he recomended.But afterwards he helped me with a hard to find part.Shop 5 I only stop in here when I visit my mother who lives an hour away.He has a bargin table and good clearance sales.The under 30 people here are idiots I only deal with the owner who is my age.I find most in this business are kooky including me.Once in awhile you might catch one on an off day and acting normal.Keep looking around you will find a shop that fits your needs.Or try snowboarding!!
