Hello, I'm James,
I have a bicycle shop in Alpine Ca. and find this site to be very informative.
Thanks for being here for all of us who like motored bikes.

James...you are very welcome at MBc. I really wish that all bike shops had the same outlook. I would: just place the motored bikes with gas and oil in a back bay where customers can easily see them, walls painted an Off-White.

And, the new pedal bikes up front: Including the the gas bikes that have not been laden with either gas or oil. That should make all of your customers happy. Of course, this is only a suggestion...you can take it or not. In any event, Good Luck, and God Bless.
Patrick

Welcome to the forum. Many of the bike shops consider motorized bicycles to be the competition.
I feel that motorized bicycles and conventional bicycles compliment each other. I still ride both.
