True, nothing is really gender specific about that store or most of the weird vibes I've gotten elsewhere. But in the back of my mind, I always think that people would trust that I know something, or pay more attention to me, or whatever, if I was a guy. But I'm also not very aggressive or outgoing so my personality doesn't help much either!

(Wearing my hair in 2 braids probably doesn't encourage anyone to treat me like an adult...keeps it from knotting, though!)
If you walked into a stuffy business setting with braids, I might buy that, but a bike shop? I'm lucky to even be clean when I go into a shop. Trust me; this wasn't about you; this was about him.
