    Where to get gear in a post-CycleWorld world?

    So my girlfriend is trying to buy a jacket, and wants to go somewhere where they have an enormous selection, so she can try on a lot of different options. But the only place I can think of is (was) Cycle World. Happy to go to the smaller shops but they just don't have the variety for this sort of browsing. Also she has no car, and without a jacket can't go on my bike, so it has to be in range of the TTC (or _really_ good to be worth a greyhound ride).

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I would say GPbikes in Ajax for selection & price, but the TTC woun't get out there.
    She could take the GO train.
    According to google the Train Station is 2.1km from GP bikes

    Why can't she go on the bike without a jacket. Not the safest, but with @ least a denim jacket she should be OK. Just don't crash. Besides on the return journey she may have a jacket to wear.

    Yeah GP bikes is probably your best bet, tons of great stuff there and they will even ship it to your house if you want them to. What about a Taxi or getting a ride from a friend?

    Not a massive place, but what they have is good, and they have a bunch of women's stuff. You won't find more helpful or nicer staff anywhere. ANYWHERE.

    GP Bikes - the GO bus stops in the same plaza. I took it when I bought my first bike from them.

    Or, you could wait for the motorcycle show in December.
