I live in the Denver area, so we have LBS's EVERYWHERE. The usually cater to the spandex wearing yuppies, but there are a couple that do cruisers. The cool shops with cruiser stuff are downtown, so they are a little hard to get to. The have a big cruiser/alcoholic club in Downtown Denver that uses cruizin as a reason to go bar hoppin'. Nothing wrong with that really, but I am no longer 25, skinny, and good looking. Okay, I might still be good looking, but I'm not skinny and young anymore :roll: Since I'm in the suburbs, there isn't a big market for cruisers. We have a couple of big super-bicycle-warehouse-mondo-supercenter places that have put a few locals out of business. I have bought a couple of parts and junk that were on clearance off of them but I prefer the smaller shops.
I work at Target and send lots of people to a newer, smaller LBS that is just starting out where I have gotten some parts and stuff from. He gives me a bro discount once in a while because he's gotten some good business from me sending them his way. I always carry a couple of cards in my wallet, just in case. . He carries a few cruisers, but his bread and butter is families, so I try to hook him up with folks. With the exception of the new shop, most of the other shops just roll their eyes at me when I ask about cruiser stuff. I've showed him this site and he's gotten a hankerin' to build a rat. And since it is the slow time of the year, he's a little bored so we'll see what happens.
I also started a cruiser club with a friend of mine who lives in an area where they are building a New Urban development. There's lots of families and young, hip, professionals and we are trying to go for the family oriented folks that still like being different and having fun.
