You're right. They could have spent more, and gotten a depressed Northern city like Philly instead
Seriously, it's weird. I've lived and ridden here for years, no interest in bikes in this city whatsoever. Now we've got Slaughterama, multiple new shops, a yearly swap, a velodrome coming in, and NAHBS. It's starting to make my head spin.
You used to be able to ride down to VCU and lock up your bike wherever you wanted... now, good luck finding a spot. It's crazy.
