There a lot of good stores here, Veloce is great, if they carry what you're looking for, I usually get my maintenance and repair stuff done there.
RC is big and busy, carry Cannondale, Cervelo and more high end stuff like Calfee and Seven. A little more high pressure environment but still a great store.
I've tried a few bikes at RC, never had to ride around the parking lot.
Not so sure I'd let them work on my bike, but then I'm more than happy with the work I've had done at Veloce and 21st Ave. bikes.
Lakeside has a lot of eye wateringly expensive bikes, good for the eye candy, not so good on the service, imo.
