Yeah, I'm also looking for tights. I actually bought the Pearl Izumi Therma Fleece Cycling Tight and just got back from my first ride with them. I've gotta say, I wasn't impressed (padding was nothing compared to my shorts) and am still on the lookout for something better. City Bikes doesn't have any tights with padding which kind of surprised me. I haven't been to Spokes in a while, but should go check that out. And I'm definitely willing to check out places farther away like Fredrickburg. It's not ideal, but I really want to see the stuff in person before I buy it, and the women's section of most the places near me are just pathetic (and I also agree about the cheap/ugly stuff!). My boyfriend of course has no problem. Thanks for the suggestions and for the invite for the ride last weekend (sorry I missed it!!)

Any of you Washingtonians feeling industrious enough to start up a women's shop (or even a place with a women's section that is at least comprable to the men's)? I'd be the first one at the door on opening day!!!
