We're getting our 5 year old a new bike, and would prefer to use a good local bike shop instead of a big box store. Can you recommend a good bike shop that has a nice selection of kids bikes?
Performance Bicycle in Cary is one my hubby shops at frequently. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.
You might try Lanky's in Dunn...that is if it's still there. I believe the tornado cut through there pretty close from what I've read.
