#!markdown I just recently read an article that was discussing the price of bikes and it had a great little tidbit about why going to a bike shop costs more then an online deal…it basically compared getting your tube from a bike shop to getting a cup of coffee from the coffee shop instead of making your own at home….you pay for coffee when you feel like it, you pay for the confidence , the right then and there. And in the case of a bike shop similar to a good car me ha if you pay for the parties experience and hopefully good advice. There will always been great bike shops…what the online sales will do away is shitty, poor service bike shops, and we all know they exists and I for one won't miss them. Otherwise, I am happy to buy my lube at the shop when I pick up my bike from a checkup/fix up….and yes I know I pay more then online….I don't really buy new bikes, but man I would for sure be happy if the bike shops would embrace selling used bikes …kinda like a car…certified used :)… Vs pinkbike..who knows what you just paid for buy and sell
