Thank you!! Great advice from everyone - especially about using this time as an opportunity to "interview the bike shops"...I hadn't even thought about this from that perspective. I certainly don't want to be treated like a 'dumb girl'.
I'm on my way now to bike shop #1 to begin my search and narrowing the field of bikes AND LBS's...
...SO EXCITING!
Thank you very much!

Hi there,
Definitely get out there now! There are some really good deals this time of year!
I have had good luck at Freewheel Bike down by Cedar/Riverside. I bought my road bike there last spring and people have always been wonderfully helpful when I've gone in.
Or, Behind Bars in NE Mpls is a smaller shop that has excellent service. They carry Kona, I know, but beyond that I'm not sure. It's small, but way cool.

"I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood."
Susan B. Anthony, 1896
