OpenStreetMap Bike Shops

...and this is why an open dataset and tools rock.
  1. Using the 'tagwatch' pages of the OSM wiki, pull down an OSM data file of shop=bicycle.
  2. Load it into the map editor, JOSM, and trim off anything outside UK/Europe.
  3. Load that into GPSBabel and convert from OSM to GPX.
  4. Use your POI loader to stuff the data onto your GPS device.
That's really nifty.
