Hi all! I'm going to be coming through Portland, maybe Monday, and was wondering if there are any killer bike stores for women's clothes? I'll be heading down I-5, so Vancouver WA, Salem OR, even Eugene area...
Looking to pick up a couple extra items and just want a great, huge selection of women's cycling clothes.
Does TE have a brick & mortar store?

Pearl Izumi
Hi Starfish. There is a Pearl Izumi store at the Woodburn outlet stores on I5. There is only one exit for Woodburn and you'll pass the stores on the freeway.
They have a women's section. It's not huge but adequate and the sales people are very nice and helpful. I went there recently and bought several items. It was great to actually try clothing on before you purchase. In the past, I had only purchased online and took my chances.

I was just in Portland last week.
Unfortunately, I spent most of my time in a hotel conference room and didn't check out much of the area beyond walking distance of the hotel. However, Powell's Books is a GREAT place to get lost (or hide) in when you have some time to kill.
A friend of mine who grew up in the area asked if I got over to River City Bicycles. She said it's a great LBS - really supportive of the local community, great stuff on hand. She raved about the place - which is high praise, as she's a LBS owner herself. I wish I could give a first-hand report - perhaps the locals can.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

Hey, thanks all! I don't know my plans yet...might stay in Portland, might just stop briefly and head on down the road. But, I LOVE Powell's. And, both the PI shop and the LBS sound great. Thanks!

Just a little note...I did stop at River City Cycles on my way home from Shasta...Ooooh what a fine bike store! Tried on some Specialized Women's Carbon Pro road shoes, and I now know what I must spend my next $400 windfall on. (Shoes + Pedals) Gads.
Great store. Lots of bikes, shoes, etc. Lots of female employees."The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew, and live through it." ~ Doug Bradbury
