My favorite LBS always gave test rides, but again those were mostly for lower to mid range priced bikes. But some @#$% on google gave them a lowest star review because the LBS would not let them go on a test ride admittedly without leaving any thing to 'hold', like car keys, wallet, etc. Unrelated, BTW, they are going out of business.
, but happy for the original owner and present owner, his son.
