    Yeah man I know it just sucks to have it happen that fast. My neighbor owned and operated the local bike shop in our town for almost 30 years. You’re right it was gonna close anyway but covid made it happen way quicker and the town is worse off in the end. The bike shop was a HUGE part of this town and now it’s gone. It just is what it is.

      Yeah, small town shops dying is really sad

      Building large shopping centers and online retailers seem to have killed most small shops in smaller towns around here too…

      COVID pretty much was the death nail, as you said
