    Happened to be in downtown Statesville today picking up some hiking boots, and walked past this bike store. I'd seen in before because they always put a bunch of low-end bikes out on the sidewalk in front of the store, but today as I was walking past they had a sign on the door "Trails Closed? Don't be depressed - come in and have a beer!". So I walked in...

    The place has a bigger bar than most bars in the area :) PLUS it has a decent bike inventory, extensive parts department, and a pretty large service area. At 2PM on a Saturday, they had at least four employees working the shop, chatting about bikes, etc. Plus two shop dogs to round out the experience.

    Turns out they are a small chain of four stores covering four of the communities in the area. Because of their scale, they can offer pretty competitive pricing on parts and bikes - and they carry Specialized, Santa Cruz, Cannondale, GT, and a few other brands.

    If you are in the area and thinking about riding trails they also rent bikes(!)

    Two thumbs up!!
