CANADA - Best Internet Retailers ??

Churchill said:

Hello,

Is there one or two Internet stores in Canada that are best for
Bicycle supplies ?

In this case, a cyclometre, however, other parts would be nice too!

While a metre is the correct way to spell the unit of measurement, a device
for measuring is called a meter.

Yes, in French (except for the missing accent grave). In English, it's
not so clear. Most American dictionaries prefer meter.

"Canadian" is an intoxicating mix of English and American, hence "Tire
Centre" instead of Tire Center or Tyre Centre.

French too "cheque" as opposed to "check"

Most Americans don't know what a metre is. In Canada it was always metre.

Find a little bike shop in your neighborhood and support it instead. These
internet companies have hardly any overhead, but often a shop can match
their price.

Amen to this suggestion. I also get advice that the internet shops don't give
as a part of their service. Mind you, those bike shops that have afficianados
do provide great advice - just there are times when the local bike shop here
sells stuff at equal or lower prices than the web based shop - and i don't
have to wait and pay shipping.

In other words, you should still shop around, BUT include the locals in the
shopping.
