Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Orlando bike shops???

I am going to be in Orlando tomorrow and was just looking for advice on which bike shops were worth checking out.
I am going to buy a new tri-bike (if I can find one), and will need a few other things.

Computer, pedals, seat bag, etc. You get the picture.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You also might try Loco Motion. I know they carry Cervelo.

Check out the Sanford crit just a few miles north of Orlando. Whether a spectator or participant, it'll be a great show. The pro 1/2 race starts around noon.

Cycle Spectrum should have the Motobecane Nemesis available. Not bad for $995. CS has 3 locations in Orlando.

I've ordered a few items from Glory and from the web site it looks like it could be a great store.

It is a GREAT shop. Granted, most of what they do is mail order, but the store front has lots of items to wet your appetite. The staff has always been helpful (even when I ask stupid questions) Ha!.

https://www.floridabicyclesports.com/ This would be 2 hour drive for you, but a really good place to buy and fit a tri bike.

Thanks for all the info. I ended up with the Fuji Aloha from Spectrum. It was the best deal for the money.
