Should have mentioned- in Southern California for a time within less than a mile it was bike shop war.
Sea Schwinn
superGo
Two wheel transit
performance
and another shop - name escapes me- well run
all near Warner and Magnolia.
LA times when it had a circulation of over a million daily wrote a multi page article even.
twowheel got killed eventually- custom built store too.
They had moved from Downtown Huntington Beach - Jax cycle center took their old spot- inherited their customers.
in one regard it was understandable - the old shop was too close to the beach- no customers on the water.
but had been a shop there for 50+ years. Was the bike barn prior.
