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

Lbs

Ok, I'm new here. I live in Northern Virginia. I just got back in to cycling after a 20 years. I've seen many references to LBS, which I assume is a bike store chain. What does LBS stand for, where are they, and am I happy that there isn't one near me?

Some people around here pack on the lbs during the winter and then go to the LBS during springtime in efforts to get rid of them!
