Ladies and Bike Shops

I have felt for a long time there is a big need for a ladies only bike shop which specialises in OTP stuff for women as well as custom made. With the right marketing they could make a fortune, especially if they specialised in helping the newbies put all the right kit together. I think far many women want to cycle but find the whole atmosphere in bike shops totally intimidating.

I totally agree, I would LOVE to open a ladies bike shop! I think it would get a lot more women cycling, especially those who don't have the interest/abilty/time to spend hours trawling the internet for information.

I find it really annoying that when a woman asks for a bike that will fit her people often respond with 'get a custom one' which I certainly can't afford. And it seems female specific bikes that aren't custom are limited to road bikes and hybrids, I would love to live in a world where for every male geometry bike they made a female version.
