I also got dissed at a bike shop last year, treated with maximum attitude, and I really think it's because of my weight. I just think that's crazy for a retailer...what do they care about how much I weigh? My money's the same color. And I'm a single, childless woman with a bunch of disposable income to spend on my new hobby...are they stupid, or what???

I ended up spending a lot of money at the bike shop that treated me with respect. Sheesh. Voting with my dollar, I guess.
