I spent most of yesterday afternoon at my LBS. There was another woman there, a graduate student student getting her new bike to go to Duke.

Anyway, as I was finishing up, and the student had already left, the LBS guy said he had had a really good time with the 2 of us (neither of us were reticent). We then got into a discussion about women, bikes, etc. He is making a big effort to get women into his shop and to make them comfortable. He is already getting in more women's clothing, etc. He took the time to show us how to change a flat and answer Qs (I had several about maintenance). He remarked that some women are obviously uncomfortable with him even watching them test ride a bike. He wanted to know what to do to make women come to and be comfortable in his shop.

Responses?
