I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one around here who would respond to that with -- if it was big enough, I'd sure buy it!!!!

When I'm in the bike shops, I see lovely things, only to look for something that might fit and discover that there's nothing anywhere near my size. (which probably delights DH immensely, though the other day he expressed interest in "someday, when we're not spending all our bike money on things like pedals anymore" getting matching jerseys) I could buy jerseys till the cows come home!

My favorite way to shop for clothes, fabric, or just about everything too! Yup, support your local bike shop, sewing machine dealer, whatever -- you might NEED them some day, and you definitely want them to stay around!
