Yeah, well, I used to think so, too, until I started looking at the sizing charts for womens-specific bike clothing. When the largest chest size offered is a 40 and the largest hip size offered is a 32 (and they call THAT XL, btw!), it's downright silly.
I recently had to order team kit from a large bikewear maker and their sizing turns out to be all over the map. AND they got it wrong for about half the team. They got MY jersey right, but only because I ordered -- sit down -- the Womens' 3X. I honestly don't see how clothing manufacturers hope to get more women onto bikes if they don't/won't make clothing to fit more of them. I mean, seriously -- how much DO I have to suck my cheeks in? ..::shrugs::..
