This statement is simply untrue. If someone is going to fall in love with cycling it's not going to be because they were on a lighter, faster bike. If the hybrid is going to end up in the garage unused, I GUARENTEE, so would a Specialized Allez. Maybe that’s the case or maybe the woman goes back to the store a year or 2 later and says, “I want to upgrade to 700c wheels, my hybrid’s beat to hell.” And that, is a beautiful thing. Even in today’s “I want it now” world, some things just have to be slow cooked.Lennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114237808484051220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290910961912664208.post-19613724456926540482010-10-25T08:20:14.378-04:002010-10-25T08:20:14.378-04:00i think you are wrong, it is not that he wants wom...i think you are wrong, it is not that he wants women to hate cycling, the store personnel is making assumptions about the clientLibby Maximhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058448010971518116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290910961912664208.post-53591080173076890712010-10-24T21:30:19.254-04:002010-10-24T21:30:19.254-04:00this is crap. There's no conspiracy out there ...this is crap. There's no conspiracy out there to keep the females on crappy bike. Think about it... if you were a bike store owner, wouldn't you be trying to sell the expensive (big profit) bikes? Those are those light bikes. What kind of idiot bike store owner would purposefully try to make less profit, all for the purpose of making women hate cycling?Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340793431986623538noreply@blogger.com
