But the attitude of cyclists and some bike shops is a barrier to a lot of people.
It's tiresome that this is still an issue. We first started talking about this, 20+ years ago. Yet, it still goes on to this day. You would think that most bike/tri shops would get the message, some do, but a good chunk of them do not. It's to their peril, and the numbers in terms of the total numbers of bike/tri shops is going in the wrong direction. One would think that fact alone would be a clear enough message that, you need to be more open and encouraging. Bit apparently not!
