My home town's only "bike shop" was the Ace hardware store. Perfectly
normal to go there and buy tubes, parts, etc.
We had to (get our parents to) drive 6 miles down the road to go to a "real"
LBS.
Now, I got 3 LBS's in a 10 mile radius of my house, but they all suck so
bad, I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.
