As an avid biker, I believe in finding a local bike shop (LBS) that get's 90% of my business so that I can talk to knowledgeable people, try out products before buying, and have a place to mix and mingle with real people about bikes.
Is there a triathlon equivalent? Does anyone know of an LBS or running store or such that caters to triathletes in Georgia, preferably somewhere near Columbus, but Atlanta would be okay, too.
All3Sports in Sandy Springs is good. I've only been a couple times, but the staff was helpful and friendly. Lots of cool gear. I would have thought I'd pay a premium for the goods there but have found the things I've bought to be extremely competitively priced.
Even though I've never set foot in it, I can second all3sports. They come highly recommended by several folks around here (Karl=motivated is their unofficial Director of Marketing, I think), they also retail online and gave me a good deal, good service on a Cervelo Dual. Seem to be customer-oriented, knowledgeable folks.

I agree, I've found their stuff to be well priced, especially their Profile aerobars.
