Most of the Cycle shops around the San Antonio area are small, unknown,
and usually located in small strip malls and maybe have one or maybe
two people working there. I have seen a couple of the proprieters
that seem to be knowledgeable on the subject and will take time to
talk to you at least. The Fancy competition style bikes are never
there. I guess the owners can't afford to keep their finances tied
up in the multi-million Dollar Pizzaz types.
There is a multitude of Department type stores or whatever that have
lots of the ToysRus type Bikes but I haven't seen any that cater to
the Racers or competition Riders. They may be out there somewhere
but in my feeble travels I haven't seen them.
