Default why are there too many bike shops?



Anyway, googling search businesses in google maps for bicycles,
Madison, Wisconsin gives the ambience of AMuzi's loneliness. While
there check out Yellow Jersey's primo location - and Qui si pasa in
Boulder, CO where summer lasts forever.

Or Portland, Oregon. See
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=e...95282&z=9&om=1

Keep flipping through the pages. There are three Performance shops in
the metro area; three REIs and a bazillion independents -- two steel
frame builders (Strawberry, Vanilla -- sorry, no Chocolate), Chris
King, Yakima, Anodizing, Inc., Universal Cycles (big mail order -- but
walk-in, too). I wonder how they all stay in business. -- Jay Beattie.

Hmmm. For some reason it won't cut and paste for Portland. It comes
up N.Y. -- so just type in Portland, Oregon. -- Jay Beattie.
