Bike Shops In Vegas

10-17-2004, 06:37 PM

I will be heading down to Vegas soon (unfortunately missed the big bike show
(??@!?@(#^@^%^)).
Any good shops to check out. I am a roadie and looking to bring back
souvenirs, trinkets etc for the kids (myself included).
TIA
Stan

If you're looking to rent a road bike when you're there, my husband has good
things to say about McGhies Ski, Bike and Board at 702-252-8077
([Only registered and activated users can see links. ] we've both had good experiences with the sister
store in Blue Diamond, the Blue Diamond Bike Out Post at 702-875-4820
([Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ) which also rents mountain bikes. They'll have club
rides through the month, it looks
([Only registered and activated users can see links. ], and it's not too
surprising -- the weather should be really nice.

Las Vegas is very likely the worst city in the western US for biking,
and you'll find that reflected in the calibre of bike shops here. You'll
do much better finding non-biking souvenirs and trinkets on The Strip.

I was in Las Vegas one time, and I noticed a person used a bike to restock
the "magazines" machines on the street that advertise I guess the
prostitutes in Vegas.
