When I walk into a shop I want to see high-end performance gear that helps me kick butt as an athlete. If a shop wants to be woman-friendly, I'd rather see employees versed in womens riding issues, smaller high-end bikes, wide selections of small wheels/shifters/handlebars/etc, and a larger selection of womens technical apparel.

That RLAG merchandise just doesn't to it for me.
BINGO!!!
While I don't use the smaller stuff it would be nice to be able to find high-end women's gear, especially clothing, as well as people not automatically steering me towards a hybrid when I say I want to ride dirt, etc.
It'd also be nice if that gear was a mix of girly (bleh) and whatever you call the regular not girly stuff, rather than all girly or nothing.
