While it's true that women and men are different, does that play into bikes? If one is into bikes, I doubt it. They'll be interested whatever type of riding they prefer, as has been said. But if they aren't, I wouldn't be surprised if some gravitated towards bicycle shapes that have been promoted for decades as "women's" bicycles because marketers have told them to like that style of frame. (But, who can resist a mixte? They're choice.) Just the same with casual male bike rider preferences. Why doesn't the average man want a step through frame? Because it has been decided that women ride those even though women have been wearing pants for 100+ years now and the whole skirt/dress thing is behind us. There's less emphasis on the step through these days, but it's still there.

If you're going to ask questions about male/female preferences you're going to need a larger sociological answer because the factors that decide what we like along gender lines are complicated to say the least.


Also, very clean Bridgestone mixte for sale in Orange County.
