The concept of a "female bike" is very vague, many do not believe in its existence. On the one hand, why not? After all, there are bicycles for children, teenagers, sports ... So why not highlight the line of women? And on the other, well, what can be the fundamental difference between the female version and the male one? Is it really only in design? Let's try to figure it out.
Anatomical factor
The creators of exclusively female bicycles justify this move by the fact that anatomically a woman is very different from a man. Although such a statement and a little strained. Take, for example, European representatives of both sexes: in most cases they are about the same height, have the same length of legs and arms. Therefore, do not be fooled by the widespread myths that women have longer legs, and men are higher by an average of 10-12 centimeters. In fact, the main differences that could somehow justify the creation of such a type of vehicle as a female bike are the center of gravity displaced from top to bottom, smaller palm size, narrow shoulders and wide pelvis, as well as less weight. But that's all - little things, in fact, for more than a hundred years now the main difference has been dictated by fashion.
The bicycle is female. Classic
Historically, a woman should not sit on a horse, throwing her leg over the saddle - this was considered vulgar and, as a result, unacceptable. And some time later, when horseback riding remained in the past, the situation did not change at all: the true lady had no right to bare her leg above her ankle. With the advent of the bicycle, the question arose of how to ride a two-wheeled horse, while maintaining a decent appearance and self-esteem. A compromise was made to lower the upper tube of the frame just enough to only raise the leg slightly, stepping over it. Of course, it was also worthwhile to provide for protection against getting the skirt in the wheel spokes, but the grid easily solved this problem. Of course, the reliability of such a unit has decreased, but not so much that it was dangerous for a leisurely ride through the city streets. Until now, the female bike is produced in this version.
Types and Types
In addition to the classic bike for walking, there are other types of vehicles mentioned, for example, sports bikes or two-wheeled vehicles of the transitional type. The latter is the result of attempts to restore the female form to its former shape and characteristics. But instead of putting the top tube of the frame in place, engineers around the world are figured out how to strengthen the existing structure. Even despite the fact that the girls, while riding a bicycle, no longer put on skirts, the stereotypes remained the same. And many prefer such a disfigured version to a more reliable and proper sports vehicle. But there is also a female folding bike, it has one and only one pipe, which looks right in half.
Based on the foregoing, we can draw the following conclusion: if you are trying to tighten your physical shape and feel safe at the same time, then do not chase fashion, buy a reliable sports bike. In modern models, all the structural features of the female body are provided. This class has the general name Woman Design, their equipment is not determined by the color of the frame. For example, the Stern bicycle (female) is equipped with a normal frame, but has a narrower handlebar and a wide comfortable saddle that supports the
pelvic bones much better, in addition, it is moved a little forward in accordance with the woman's center of gravity.
