Lucky guy. I just spent over $2500 on a bike at a shop and asked if they'd do a 10% discount on accessories (many of the local shops do that, even on $200 bikes).
Nope, sorry. We can't do that.
They didn't even include a water bottle or cage. Nice.

We atill pay taxes for healthcare here, the taxes for it go up, and what is covered goes down. I am lucky to be in the miltary, and be covered 100%(to a point) for free, but even still, I still pay taxes for the provicial health care system, it sucks.

5mm H2O Cage $4.99 (Qty 2): $9.98

At my LBS a couple days ago I went in and bought 3 Hammer Gels and they were priced at $1.19 each. My bike mechanic rung me up, I gave him a five dollar bill and he gave me back $2 said that would be close with my discount. I have never bought a bike from them. I did use to work with my Bike Mechanics mom. Yesterday I had broke a spoke on my back wheel that they had made me a couple months ago. I also had a bad spot on the tire so I went ahead and bought a new tire. They installed a new spoke, trued the wheel and changed the tire and only charged me the price of the tire. Maybe they give a discount on acessories such as the hammer gel. I do know I will buy my next bike there. They take care of me everytime I go there.
