It’s always fun to flip through the annual “Best For” issue. Occasionally, I even find something new. However, I have to complain about your best bike shop results – you only listed two! Every other category had a first, second and third place, but in the bike shop category, apparently, the field wasn’t big enough. Of all the students you “surveyed,” were the only responses Arts and Foothill?
I pity the poor cyclists who haven’t discovered CBO on Monterey which offers mail-order selection and prices, and is the closest shop to campus (Disclaimer: I do not, have not and don’t plan to work for or with CBO.). Sure, Arts and Foothill are obvious choices for first and second – they advertise a lot and cater to students – but couldn’t you open up third place for another great option? Let’s try to dig a little deeper next time and introduce Poly students to a little bit more of SLO.
