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

can anyone recommend a good online bike store? i only know of three: bikesdirect.com, labicicletta.com, and performancebike.com. Labicicletta is the only canadian based store with a reasonable selection that i've been able to find.

Don't know any in Canada. nashbar.com usually has good prices. I'm sure they ship to Canada.

Colorado Cyclist - although they are alomst as expensive as typical LBS
Harris Cyclery - for funky hard to find stuff
Branford - very good prices and lots of good small items normally hard to find other places - like Chamois creme!
eBay - lowest prices, tons of stuff - probably the best all-around on-line source. now lots of eTailers with great 100% positive feedback have eBay storefronts set up. My first choice most of time is eBay.

Wow what are you looking for? A complete bike, parts? Tons of choices. Not the largest selection in the world but I think I have received a fair deal from:

Bike tires direct and Greenfish.

I prefer excelsports.com; they are fast, they only deal in high quality stuff, and they have never screwed up an order of mine.

Cambria bike outfitters. They generally have good sales.

Are you looking for bikes or parts? Some manufacturers like Trek and Cannondale frown on authorized dealers selling their bikes online.

If you're looking for parts, aebike.com offers the entire QBP catalog at a decent discount.
