I agree with all of the above (hybrids, cargo bikes, racks, panniers, lights, tires, etc.) and would also love to see good commuting clothing. Like understated bike helmets, pants that aren't spandex but still don't get caught in the chain (oooh- chainguards!), jackets that cover my behind when I'm leaning over with my hands on the handlebars....stuff like that.

It would be great to have gear and wisdom... but not too much wisdom -- as in, oh, a shop catering to militant vehicular cyclists (or militant anything). An important question would be whether the town already had commuting cyclists and/or a commuting cyclist community. If there were a fair number of commuting cyclists then perhaps a shop could help foment a vibrant community (granted, sometimes the line between "vibrant" and "militant" depends
)
