There are good shops on the shore for sure. A part of the problem is the guys
that are qualified to sell our high end bikes are few and far between. Or,
don't get your team guys selling bikes, get guys that are passionate about
sales selling them. Year over year I have been frustrated with 'the bike
shop'. I have a long list of WTF moments dating back to the early 2000's. So
many people I ride with also share the same sentiment and have stories of
frustration. e-commerce is a threat, so the shop will have to get creative
with its business model to grow profits. Also, MEC is a competitive threat as
their offerings are growing and you cant beat their warranty policy which
draws a lot of people in.
