I don't know if I'm off topic or not...

However, the LBSs around here do have their own personalities with each one catering to their own niche'.
I've yet to visit a commuter oriented shop around here.. although I have a name/location awareness of one with that reputation.

There's only one that has proven to be a waste of my time darkening their door.
The last time I was there, they told me they were opening a 'spin-off' shop for those not specifically looking for $5K+ bikes.
