Do bike shops in the US keep a good range of casual bike clothing in
stock. Like t shirts and shorts and stuff by companies that focus on
mtbing for everyday wear. If i want to get some casual bike clothing
here i have to order it especially through a shop and if i get the wrong
size or don't like it when it comes in then bad luck i have to buy it.

Larger shops in cities usually have a good supply of clothing. Some
smaller shops focus mostly on hardware.

For normal cycling stuff, I usually go mail-order. For winter riding,
go to a regular sports store and go to their running section. All kinds
of incredibly light clothing that keeps you warm and dry.

For a nylon shell, I just got a great one for $20 at Montgomery Ward
during their holiday sales. Great deals on fleece there too.

K-Mart has good athletic socks (coolmax!) every now and then, $4.00 for
2 pair! Just got me a set of those yesterday.

Running clothes suit cycling for everything but the padded tights (and
shoes, of course). Running is a lot more mainstream too, so clothing
is easy to find.

Alot of people consider them sellouts for this, but Fox usually has alot of casual stuff at Gadzooks. Hope that helps.

I am working on creating newsgroup habitat that is free
of trite sigs and off-limits to Eco-fanatical trolls ("pure habitat").
Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years wandering
aimlessly, then I found mountain biking, praise the Lord!)

Just one reporter's opinion, but I feel dorky enough wearing bike clothes
when I'm riding my bike. I don't think I need a collared shirt with INTENSE
stitched into it.
