Just for anyone's information, I called that number and:
   * that is the correct number for that store
   * they don't carry reed switches (they do carry reed relays, which I'm 
fairly sure I could disassemble and use)
   * the girl I talked to insisted that they don't carry any more than any 
other Radio Shack--if the Internet says an item is web only, they won't have 
it

Next time I'm in that area, I'll probably stop in and check out their stock, 
just for future reference.

In the meantime, we found another bike computer at a yard sale--I'm going to 
take the speed sensor off it and put it on one of the better computers.

Thanks!
