Spring is in the air.

Baseball season has begun. BBQ smoke has replaced chimney smoke. Flowers (and allergies) are in full bloom.

Why not go for a bike ride? Pickup a soccer game? Hit the tennis courts?

What's that? You need a new tire for your bike? No soccer ball? Tennis racket a bit loose? Maybe your neighbors can help.

This week, Ellicott City Patch wants to know what everyone's favorite sporting goods store is. Let us know where you get your gear and maybe you'll inspire someone to get off the couch, get outside and play.

If your favorite store is missing from our poll, let us know in the comments and we'll be sure to add it.

Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results and reviews on Patch Places and in comments on this article, so be sure to rate the business and leave a review of your favorite spot.

And please, vote only once per survey, per Patch; poll closes 9 a.m. on Friday
