Well that depends on where you live, if it's a more northern climate and a more remote bike shop it's more likely they'd stock it. If you're looking for one I'd suggest somewhere like Ely, Mn.
It's low cost and effective, but I get the feeling it's really only for the elite of the elite. I mean the costs are huge. Food every day, paying handlers, insurance for the handlers...I get the feeling it's a training technique that only real pro's can afford to use consistently.

If the former, I will recommend again Wellgo MG-1 or MG-3, which is what I have experience with, and I like a lot. Got them for cheap (a little over $20/pair on eBay), they are nice wide platforms, pins are very grippy, and they are surprisingly light.
If the latter, I personally would stay away from most double-sided platforms, as they are bear-traps, so the 'platform' side is not 'platform' so much as blades cutting into your soles. Shimano A530 looks decent though. And I've seen a wellgo model like that too, can't find it on googlez right now.
