A hobby of mine while traveling is to seek out interesting bicycle shops to visit. Recently I found a BMC concept store while traveling in Belgium. Not only did they have a great selection of bikes to browse (with a very helpful and knowledgeable staff to boot) but they were connected directly to the BMC Service Course. There were very large windows from the shop into the Service Course for viewing. What an amazing collection of bikes, wheels, etc. with the team cars, trucks and bus as well. They also have a room with various trophies and display bikes (including the gold Olympic and Paris-Roubaix bikes from Greg van Avermaet). If only they had been willing to give a real tour rather than just window shopping.
