Cyclists get all the good bike shops. They have tons of teams and gear heads who’ve obsessed about the throw distance of a Dura Ace front derailleur since their training-wheel days. You know the type – they’re the ones who spend post group ride bar debriefings debating things like cable tension, synthetic lubes and the philosophical virtues of clinchers vs. tubulars. Needless to say I felt blessed to live in Atlanta when I found my way to All3Sports after a sprint race where I’d heard they were offering a discount to competitors. FINALLY a shop run by triahletes for triathletes wise in all things triathlon! For the first time I wasn’t listening to some roadie trying to sell me a time trial bike. Patrick, Alex, Matt, the whole crew were freakishly smart when it came to the gear, non-threatening about what to buy, and always willing to answer questions over the years since. I’ve bought gear in the store, I’ve bought gear online and I’ve talked to most of their people over the phone and every time my questions are answered before I buy anything, I get what I needed at the best price and I feel good about supporting a company that specifically supports my sport. Over the past few years I have noticed a few other triathlon-specific shops around the country; I’ve even visited many of them while close by for business or races. New York, North Carolina, out West. There a few other respectable shops to be found. But I like All3 because their website serves my shopping needs quickly and easily, their prices are almost always the lowest, they have every piece of gear you’ll be looking for (they’re usually the first to get the newest, coolest goods) and when all is said and done, their staff across the board is consistently top notch. These guys are the real deal, they know their gear and they best of all, they know triathlon. Not convinced? Prove me wrong. I’ve never referred a fellow athlete to my friends at All3Sports and had them come back to me with a less-than-satisfactory experience.
