Yes-the Americano is fantastic! Yes-the atmosphere is eclectic, old school South Austin! Yes-the tattooed baristas are friendly! But I go to Bouldin Creek Coffee House for the hours and hours and hours of good conversation and welcoming community. Here's the "How to" on meeting people at Bouldin. Find the dog with the mohawk, pet the dog as much as you can (it works like a magic lamp) and wish for lots of new friends at Bouldin, then introduce yourself to the dog's owner, and ask to have a seat. You will have new friends, hours of conversation, and great coffee, I promise.

"I want a road bike."
"I don't want to upgrade my bike next year or anything."
"I have an interest in joining a riding club and participating in some athletic events."
"I'm not competitive so even though I am interested in some athletic events, I have no interest in beating a time or anything."
BIKE STORE #1 recommended a road bike with an aluminum frame, carbon fork, 105 components - cost around $1200.
BIKE STORE #2 recommended a road bike with an aluminum frame, carbon fork, 105 components - cost around $1200.
BIKE STORE #3 recommended a road bike with an aluminum frame, carbon fork, and 105 components - cost around $1200.
Notice a pattern? But hold-up for the BIG Sesame Street Moment:
WHICH OF THESE BIKE STORES IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER?
ANSWER: MELLOW JOHNNY'S!
MELLOW JOHNNY'S recommended a road bike with a carbon frame and a $2950 price-tag. The staff really promoted the benefits of a carbon frame over anything else.
I'm glad I went to a number of shops but despite their popularity, Mellow Johnny's was the least able to match my needs with the correct road bike :( Mellow Johnny's FAIL :(
