I guess it depends on what you are looking for. My experience has been (see your from the island) is that bike parts and bikes as a whole are more expensive on the island than on the mainland. If its small item, go with a local bike shop and see if they can take 10% off.(good luck).
For bigger item, you can shop around Van or go online.
As for online shops..few Canadian- most are americian which means...exchange rates, duty and more shipping.
Check www.bikeroom.com Good price...improved service then when it was airbomb (which it is not anymore) and shipping to the island is pretty good.

I'm doing reasherch I guess you could say itis a school thing so everyone try and help me out tell me what you know fill me in.
asking what is the best and worst is highly subjective...
its all personal expereince... which doesnt really proof anything???
who's right and who's wrong in such circumstances....
obviously my personal Fav. is Bikeroom.com, previous to that i was a happy Airbomb customer...
my other online bike shop if u can call it that would NSMB right here... i have placed lots of orders for clothing/vids and stuff...
what stands out to me in all 3 locations has been teh company's ability to ship the goods at the low price listed...i have not be forced to cancel any order for goods that became "unavailable"....
hope that sheds some light, for what its worth....

Depends on what you're looking for. www.bigringbikes.cjb.net is pretty small, and they offer really good prices on stuff. Of course, you can't rule out Unbeatable Bikes, and Bikeroom.

supergo.com

With the Canadian dollar doing better against the US dollar, ordering certain items from these places can save you quite a bit of money.
There's also bikecanada.com.
