REI also has a very good selection of accessories at good prices too.
The bicycle department employees at REI are very knowledgeable, at least
at the REI closest to me (San Jose/Saratoga). REI also has a very good
selection of bicycles, including touring bicycles. Most of the bicycle
shops around where I live no longer carry a wide selection of bicycles.
The other big plus about REI and Performance is that they have good
hours. You can actually go to these stores after work, or on Sunday,
when many bicycle shops are closed.
