If god made cycle shops I dont think he would shop in Halfords

[Gerry Attrick]

I agree our sport is only a small amount of their annual turnover then dont set yourself (halfords) to be something your not either offer the service and the products you advertise or dont

I have no disagreement with that point of view, I was acting devil's advocate.

Perhaps because Decathlon look for people who are interested in sports, outdoor pursuits etc to staff there stores whereas Halfords.... well don't. I don't know what Halfords look for in their staff, but know that when Decathlon opened up near me, they were advertising for staff enthusiastic about sport.

i would agree with that. all the staff in lakeide decathlon seem mad keen about all sorts of sports. i think the Gen manager is a keen MTBer.

that said the halfords on the same shopping park has at least one member of staff who is very very good in the cycling section. listened to what i wanted , let me have a ride on a few. i still bought the rockrider from decathlon.
