LBS's cant compete with the prices of online retailers but way too many of em open at stupid times.
If I leave work at 6/6.30 which happens frequently instead of 5.30 as im meant to, I never can get the little bits and pieces that I would always buy from them and have to do it online instead. Then, on the weekend, most are closed on Sunday and if you have a lie in on Saturday then you may miss their blink and you miss it opening times on Saturday.
Fitzrovia Cycles are awesome cause they close at 7 so i give them tons of business.
Why not stay open on Sunday when people can access them, close on Monday instead if they have to have a full day closed. Open at 10 or 11 and close at 7 or 8 in the evening so people can access them. So simple and obvious (to me at least) yet very few do it
