sounds like those ******* bike shop owners are trying to make a half
decent
living and feed their families...*******s

I think there is definitely room for both LBS and service/repair only shops.
As more and more people buy bikes online there will be more need for someone
to do tunes and buildups. There are car dealers and car mechanics, right?
Why not a bike mechanic shop?
