Harris Cyclery, R.I.P.

I heard on the radio yesterday that the Harris Cyclery in Boston (Sheldon Brown's former shop) has closed after 70 years. The reasons given were the pandemic and shipping costs. However, in my opinion and according to many online reviews, the real reason was their general disdain for customers. I guess there just weren't enough people that enjoyed being ridiculed for asking questions or owning a mid-range bike. There are plenty of good LBS's in the area that are doing OK despite the pandemic, etc., so good riddance.
