and noticed this not sure quite what to make of it. Maybe women's bikes need to be differentiated from 'real' bikes? Hmm

not "mens bikes" and "womens bikes"
men are the default women are other.

As in "bikes" and "womens bikes".

From the link:
Mountain bike sizing chart (hardtail & full suspension)
Women's mountain bike sizing chart (hardtail & full suspension)
Road bike sizing chart
Women's road bike sizing chart
I think this is what WoT is referring to.

Pelvis!

Women have a wider pelvic than men. The body/leg proportion and position of arms are also slightly different between men and women. We also don't have balls!
Why not have bikes that are comfortable for your body shape?
It makes sense!

The link goes straight to Evans general page, nothing to do with women's bikes.
Generally women have shorter legs than men, so that's not a feminist issue. But aren't women's bikes also a different shape? So ladeez don't have to swing their legs over to get on?
What's your point poster? Wink
