    Bad JuJu's idea of an introductory ride is good but a lot of time and effort from your store. How about a contact info sheet for those that want to find riding partners? Only those that want to share the info could sign up and then provide it only to those on the list.

    I like SB's training list. Add recovery to the training topics. That topic seems to be one of the last mentioned and people new or returning to exercise after many years don't know the concept and tend to do the same intensity ride day after day after day and wonder why they don't improve. The whole discussion of frequency, duration, intensity and recovery seems to be left out so much of the time, yet is is a pretty simple concept.

    Road riding tips- ie. riding with traffic, when to take the lane, where to position yourself in the lane when approaching/stopping at an intersection (right if you're turning right, center if you're going straight through, left if you're turning left), not swearving around parked cars, etc., etc.

    I know many women who take up riding on the streets are VERY nervous about riding in traffic. Maybe this would help them feel more confident and at ease.
