As someone why buys a lot of cycling parts online, there are many mom/pop bike shops with web storefronts, that are very reasonably priced and often include "free" shipping. Stop giving bezos your money, you have no excuse.

Yeah.. lots of people keep repeating "but its expensive out of amazon!" and they never tried. Sure, you can find cheaper products on Amazon, but once you start looking around, it's definitely not always the case. But people are lazy, they get multiple amazon packages a week, and love to complain about Bezos but do nothing about it.

I bought a book on Amazon in 2005, it came (weeks) late, i complained, got sent another, ended up receiving 2 books. It was my last purchase from Amazon. Since then, the only time i see Amazon is on the backend of a scammer. Amazon in my opinion, in every sense, a scam itself.

First off, its just morphed from a book store into a upper class ebay. Alibabba became the chinese ebay. I'll pay that drop shipper the money, i got no problem with the conveince they give but realistically whats the point of going through 3 middle men when i can wait an extra week and limit that to 0 or 1.

Reality check:

I'm not exactly rich. When I'm a millionaire I'll happily support LBS.

Until then Amazon helps me save a shitton of money.

I got a pair of Continental GatorSkin tires from Amazon for 30% less than LBS just 2 weeks ago. And yes, I called LBS and checked the price.

Amazon is expensive. I once got an Amazon gift card and the first thing I told the person that gave me the card is that I will spend 20-30€ more on Amazon than on any other site.
