In what respect?
Gear, clothing, bike maintenance, etc.
I am probably not the best at answering this question.
My bike maintenance is done by Golden Bear bikes in Thornton, if it is something I can not do. Good guys there. Nothing really to do with commuting.
Gear and clothing are all mail order. Most places run way too high and have a limited selection.
Plus, I'm too busy to find these items locally.
