When is the performance in richmond supposed to open up? And where exactly is it going to be? Have driven by where I thought it was supposed to be a couple times but havent seen any thing big enough to be a bike shop.

It opened last Wednesday. I went in Thursday and dropped $80. It's a really nice store and very spread out and easy to find things. All the other bike shops in Richmond are going to really suffer.

Don't go there, they are evil!

They don't care about their employees, and they don't care about their customers!

Go to somewhere that actually sees you as a bike rider, not just someone with money in their pocket

And on the contrary to that, I heard somthign totally counter intuitive. Apparently, one of the small shops in Fredricksburg had their business go up 30% when Performance opened.

It doesn't make any sense, but the explination is that it raised the area's cycling awareness and people start shopping around.

It will definantly be interesting to see how things pan out....... especailly at Conte's across the street!
