How can I tell if I'm looking at a feminine bike?
Going to look at a Specialized Sirrus tomorrow that, looking at the picture, is kinda pink/purplish. Feminine colors. I don't think that feminine colors always designates a feminine bike, but how do I tell?
Thanks
Thanks

Look at the stem. This bike, posted earlier this week, is obviously a male bike.

Girl bikes will only allow you to ride them after flowers, an expensive dinner, and a promise that you aren't riding any other bikes.

Correct. Furthermore, colors like pink, purple, and anything flourescent were popular on bikes.
