The local bike shop, or LBS, retails bicycles and accessories and provides repairs and custom work. It is typically the go-to destination for bike fitting, repair assistance, and quality advice on cycling.
Not just a store, an LBS is an aid to local riders by sponsoring group rides, clinics, and bike culture. Although online buying has gained traction, there is still room for LBSs because of the expertise and personal assistance. They are also vital during racing season for rapid repairs or final adjustments.
