From: jpaulwede@PROTECTED I stopped in at Bert’s yesterday, but the store manager wasn’t there, so I’ll go again this afternoon. Bert’s gave us gift cards for last year’s spring fling. I’m guessing that based on the reception you got Phil, that comps are out of the question? Geez, disappointing!  Paul Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, 8:23 AM, pdilmore@PROTECTED pdilmore@PROTECTED [bikebod2] <bikebod2@PROTECTED> wrote:

From: pdilmore@PROTECTED All, I visited Mello Vello, The Bike Loft, Resource Cycling and Syracuse Bicycle. So far only Steve at Mello Vello came up with a gift certificate for us. I’ve visited Syracuse Bicycle twice and while both times they said they would support us I came away empty handed. I didn’t get a very warm reception from Jeremy at Resource Cycling despite the fact I bought 3 bikes from them over the last decade. As far as The Bike Loft, I did speak to Tracy who wanted to check with Lance but she also mentioned she was scheduled for a medical procedure so perhaps it just fell through the cracks. I’ll make one more visit The Bike Loft and Syracuse Bicycle this weekend. I don’t believe Resource Cycling is worth my time or my gas. Curious to here how anyone else made out at other shops.
