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

This is where I have seen the best deals, as much as 40% off MSRP on a one day only sale. My last bike was discounted about 12%. It wasn't on the floor at all, had to be ordered. I wanted a compact due to an upcoming move to WV, they had a standard on the floor that I test rode. They made me the same deal on the ordered bike as they would have on the floor bike, partly because they knew why I wanted the compact and thought it would be the best fit for me. Of course I still plan to try and do some business with them online after my move, due to the fact that the area I am relocating to doesn't have many "local" shops.
