When I bought my wife a new Schwinn ladies bike a few years ago she complained that it hurt her knees to ride it. So I had the bike shop lace in a 3 speed hub and change
the front chain ring to a 36 tooth ring. Now she goes grocery shopping ,or gives the grand kids rides in the trailer I built for her, with no problems at all.
