Top bicycling shops

Bicycle Retailer and Boulder Sports Research have announced the top bicycle retailers in America. You can click on the link above to see the full list, but here are some of the top Midwestern shops, according to the survey of bicycle and accessory sales representatives:

Illinois:
Durst Cycle & Fitness, Urbana
Kozy's Cyclery & Fitness, Chicago
Russell's Cycle & Fitness, Washington
Turin Bicycle, Evanston

Missouri:
Big Shark Bicycle Co., St. Louis

Indiana
Bicycle Garage Indy, Greenwood
Matthew's Bicycle Mart, Indianapolis

Iowa
Bike World West, West Des Moines
Northtowne Cycling & Fitness, Cedar Rapids

Kansas
Bikesource, Overland Park

Michigan
Breakaway Bicycles & Fitness, Kalamazoo
Brick Wheels, Traverse City
Two Wheel Tango, Ann Arbor
Village Bike & Fitness, Grand Rapids

Wisconsin
Budget Bicycle Center, Madison
Wheel & Sprocket, Hales Corner

Boulder Research says the sales representatives vote for the top three retailers in their territories in market share, store appearance and community outreach.

In the St. Louis area, it's hard to argue against the inclusion of Big Shark in the top retailer list because the shop is first-rate in all three areas.

But you, the bicycle consumer, may be looking for something else in rating your favorite bicycle shops. I invite you -- no matter where you live -- to tell readers about your favorite shops and what makes them so great.

Hey there!

If you, or your readers, know of any Bike Shops in your/their part of the nation that have been in business since before 1941, and that also now have a website, let me know!

I would love to add them to my Honor Roll celebrating the contribution of Bike Shops to building interest in cycling all across the country, and around the world.
