I kind of agree, but most bike shops carry only a minority of stock for women, it would be nice to see a shop that carried more womens gear then mens, and had people that knew about fitting bikes/gear for women, I think that there is a gap in the market for this.
Also it's not as simple as the race issue that you're making it out to be simular to. A african man, man and a european man have the same needs in fitting a bike to them, as do an african woman and a european woman, but the mens fit and the womens fit are quite different. even if I'm wrong about his with the bikes themselves (which I'm not convinced I am), cycling clothing for men and women is quite diffrent.
I think its a good idea, and that it should be tested in the market place.
