But I think the point is if you know the bike shop they’re more likely to say ‘Ah hey Joe, of course we’ll stay open another 30 minutes so we can mend your bike.’
It’s a grey area. And an honest racer would call them shop and just say please treat me like any other person who might call.
If you think they’re offering you special service, then you need to make the call to turn it down.
