IMHO, Larry & Yvonne were The Rest Stop.
I agree with the above. I did give the Rest Stop a couple of trys after Larry and Yvonne sold it but I wasn't impressed with Greg. I wasn't treated very well which left a sour taste in my mouth. When he kicked the Bike Hiker and Wheelmen gear out of his store I decided not to set foot in there again. I'm sure many others decided the same. Not nice to kick 1000-1500 customer base bye bye. Larry and Yvonne did a lot for the cycling community and cyclists at large when they had the store. If Greg had continued that to some degree he might not be closing the store now.
I do not agree with Tim that buying the store now would be a good idea. The time to have bought it was when Larry and Yvonne was selling it. Now that the customer base has dwindled and the reputation tarnished it would be better to start fresh.
