Best place to buy a bike
Q. Where is the best place to get a bike?

A. In my opinion, J.B., the only place to buy a new bicycle is at a local bike shop. These are places that specialize in bikes and have knowledgeable sales people, great quality stuff and generally excellent support. If you go to an LBS — as local bike shops are known in the cycling world — you know you’ll get the best bike for your size, riding style and budget. It might not be the cheapest bike, but in the long run it will be a better value. Sure, you could go to the local superstore and pick up a cheap bike off the rack. But it won’t last nearly as long or be nearly as enjoyable as a custom fit from your LBS.
I want to buy a good bike for my 10 year old grand son. I’m talking about a street bike. I purchased a Schwinn bike at a Schwinn store about 30 years ago and still works great and now my grand son is using it. So where should I go for a good bike and what brand should I look for. Also this old Schwinn has coster brakes and no grears, do they stil make this type of bike or shouldI stay away from this type of bike. Thanks for any help Tom

P.S. Gnarly is skateboarder slang for awesome
