I'm going to Atlanta this weekend with a buddy to pick up a bike. Any good shops we should check out?

You should check out No brakes. Last time i was there they had lots to look at.

Also close by in little 5 points is outback bikes, which has always been one of my favorites.

Over by piedmont park is skate escape. Which has a ton of bikes, although i've never been in there. Every time i drive by i slap myself for not stopping. Looks like just a lot going on inside and out, and for a bike shop thats what i like.

Yup, NoBrakes is by far the best for track bike stuff. Outback sometimes has cool stuff as well though, and they're both only a few minutes away from each other.

Sopo bikes is a co-op where wrenching and parts are done by you. Pick out a frame and build away. Cool stuff. Kids get into too
