Huge bike shop, limited women's cycling apparel

[shootingstar]

I'm curious Shootingstar-

Did you take the time to tell the shop what you were looking for/expecting that they didn't have? They can't carry it if they don't know why they're losing sales.

I'll continue to support TE - the customer service is amazing. However, I also think it's important to let the LBS know what they could do to earn more of my business. Of course, they haven't done it, and probably won't.

Yesterday I checked on their website..the owners/managers are male. Store has been around for ...last few decades. (They also sell motorcycles at a separate store..) They do have female employees but don't know the pecking order for the firm.

So I will shoot off the suggestion but framed under a much broader trend that's actually happening on cycling ....especially when they are selling cruiser bikes, etc. in addition to all the other types of bikes that range from $500.00 to $7,000CAN. (ie. they sell townie cruisers plus Cervelo road/racing lines).

It wouldn't be surprising unless a woman golfs, jogs, etc., is even aware of skorts or where to even get skorts. But rather than choose a more atypical women's garmet, how about just simply nice, solid coloured cycling jerseys, that doesn't look shout too loudly "athlete"?

I appreciate TE exists and hopes as an online retailer/supplier, you will be there. But from a standpoint of paying customs brokerage fees for US pkgs. bound for international customers, I'm not keen at this time.

Admittedly I am a shopper that buys clothing in person, not online.
