Dream Bikes

Seven! "WSD" is irrelevant when a bike is an "Owner Specific Design"
Treks and/or Specialized are good for getting folks in the door. Everybody knows them. Everybody has them. Wide range of bikes in their lines - from the newb to the racer.
Gunnar or Surly for the cool kids.
Bianchi for the touring crowd who values beauty as well as a great ride.
And a good assortment of kids' bikes so folks don't feel like they "have" to get their munchkin's first bike from Target or WalMart.

As for clothes....I'd definitely put Terry on the list. Castelli and Descente, too. And Pearl Izumi for the same reason as the Treks.

Good idea.

They are not my fave LBS, it's where I go to when I need a tube or last minute Power Bar. But Cyclepath in Hayward is relatively huuuuuuge for a LBS and they seem to have everything from commuters-flat bar road bikes-beach bombers-electra townies-recumbents ..... let's see .... they carry
Trek
Cannondale
Raleigh
Electra
Scott
Lightspeed
and an Orbea or two

But one thing I like about them is they have a good selection of kids bikes and I think they have a deal where if the bike is in good condition and said kid outgrows it....you can trade it in.

also in my dream bike shop it has a good selection of books and maps, maybe a spot to just hang out and read 'em and dream about that next epic ride.
