how many LBS are in your area?

22+ in the greater Santa Cruz area, that is about one on every street minimum. Probably more per capita than Seattle.
just looked on dexonline, and it says 10, so there's 9 cuz I know of one that is not there anymore
I've got five within a five mile radius of my apartment and I thought that was a lot.
and I think only one of them is a large one like supergo. and they just opened recently (within the last year or less).
how can you have more in santa cruz if you have less then half of what we have up here? (yes, I am stupid)

He is theorizing that the shops-to-people ratio is greater in Santa Cruz than it is in Seattle.pnj said:

We have 2 for about 100,000 people. That covers about 100 mile radius.
10ish (I lost track) for a population of 10,000 
(this includes rental shops that do work and 3 private mechanics as well)

there are 2 within a 5 mile radius and 15 in my "area"
I think there are like 10 around Rochester... considering how anti-MTB this place is, that seems like a lot.
for the Boston area there 91 around here. there are a couple listed I never knew about
One. (The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters.)
We have 5 within 20 minutes drive, and 9 that are out of reasonable driving distance.
there was some nutty poker run thing today where riders tried to hit up all the shops in the seattle area, at each shop they would receive a playing card randomly which they choose out of the deck and then whoever had the best hand at the party in the afternoon wins something, not sure what the deal was but our shop was swamped today with riders for that thing not to mention renting/buying, this weather has been CRAZY for business
3 that are within 10 minutes
Same at the Downhill Zone. We were flooded with weekend-warrior roadies playing poker with their bikes. Kinda strange, but it got a lot of people into the shop, so that was cool. I hear you about how busy its been. 5 inch travel trail bikes under 30lbs has been the order of this past month. Its been nothing but straight building for weeks. We've done 2 Blurs, an Ellsworth Id, 2 (soon to be 3) Intense 5.5, Ventana X-5, Titus Racer-X and Quai-moto (we have a Switchblade in the works). Its been great to work with so many nice bikes. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning every time the brown truck pulls up.mplutodh1 said:
