I've been in the cycle trade for a fair time now and have recently found that a lot of the young riders from all sides of cycling have being muttering comments such as: "get that off the internet its cheaper" and "if you go to thingies" What they don't understand is that its getting harder to compete with the growing demand to knock 10,20 or 30% off next years price before the stuff has even landed in the country! My point is, as an employee of a small business, we need to support the local shops. We've all seen places come and go, we need to show our support or we'll end up with a high street full of mass market rubbish at over the top prices. I love my sport and my job and will continue to serve my fellow riders to the best that i can, i just ask that you do the same with your local cycle shop. Attack me at will!
