This reinforces my secret desire to open a bike shop for women. My husband's response was that bike shop owners don't make any money; I replied that I wouldn't be doing it for the money. I just want to help more women get out there and ride, on any kind of bike. I would hire women mechanics so that women customers would never be intimidated. I would have a book section, too--I've never seen one in a bike shop--books on training, riding, nutrition, etc.

Would you go out of your way to get to a LBS for women?
