I started riding a step through because of hip problems, after my left hip got replaced I needed a no-impact way to get some exercise and the bicycle seemed like a perfect choice. But, I still wasn't strong enough to throw my leg up over a high top bar.
Personally I think the Bicycle Sales Market is missing out on a huge segment of the population by not offering a larger step through frame bike, and by sticking to the outdated dogmatic idea that any step through frame is a so-called "Ladies/Woman's frame. With all the different frame types out there the lines become blurred pretty easy anymore.
What would you call this?....
They just call it "Unisex"...
