Perhaps it was me, but I picked up some bicycle parts I had ordered from one of the local bicycle stores while I was out getting roof patch, and instead of the usual cold reception I get when I show up on bicycle, they were friendly. Either they just sold a bike, or there's a bias against people on bicycles at the LBS. \ud83e\udd14 <\/p>

(note: all their bikes are $2000+, the ones up for display up front are $8K+)<\/p>

Probably not going to be frequenting these various local shops, as they have not been too receptive to my buying repair parts locally (I'm trying to keep the local stores in business, but my impression is they would rather sell expensive bikes than deal with me buying parts. I am now suspecting there is some wrongly-assumed socioeconomic bias from my bicycling to the shops, instead of driving an expensive sedan or lifted pickup truck).<\/p>","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-06-04:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/m.ai6yr.org\/users\/ai6yr\/statuses\/115561911847574207","object":{"id":"https:\/\/m.ai6yr.org\/users\/ai6yr\/statuses\/115561911847574207","objectType":"note","content":"
