When the LBS asks how you want to split the bill between cash and the credit card :shock:

the LBS sponsored team kit is changed for one with a big photo of you on it as your basically paying for the team anyway...

When the LBS has arranged for a Special Edition Model from Giant to be named after you and Giant has had to drop all other category lines to handle the workload

When your LBS owner is actually nice to you (I'm only joking Clive...)

A small creepy goblin gollum creature comes out from behind your LBS counter and says "this way sir..." and takes you through the secret passage way behind the changing room mirror to Bike Narnia and the LBS owner thinks you're some sort of Aslan being.
