There is a Cycle Gear store located about 10 minutes away from me. Back when I first started going there they carried a much larger variety of brands. Now there are few fewer choices as most of their inventory consists of their house brand stuff. I much preferred the previous business model. But I have purchased a number of things from them over the years including my last two helmets. No one gives me any grief when I walk around for 10+ minutes with one of their helmets on my head to check for hot spots and that's worth a lot to me. Basically, if they have what I want and they let me try it on and it fits & is comfortable, then I'll buy it. Over the years I've also purchased a few maintenance related items and moto-specific tools from them as well.
