Women differ from men in anatomical structure - they have a shorter torso, narrower shoulders, shorter arms, smaller hands, wider pelvis. These features are taken into account by bicycle manufacturers when creating models for girls.
Instructions
Step 1
In sports stores, there are lines of bike models specially designed for girls. These models are immediately striking because of the structure of their frame, it is greatly underestimated. Now there are no special reasons for such a frame structure, this design was created in those days when women did not wear trousers, and you cannot ride a bicycle with a regular frame in a dress. Nowadays, girls rarely go on a trip in a dress or skirt, because it is much more convenient to wear shorts or jeans. On the other hand, it is much more convenient to sit on a bicycle with a low frame - you do not need to raise your leg high.
Step 2
In addition to the lowered frame, women's bike models are equipped with a narrower handlebar, shorter connecting rod, wider saddle. Manufacturers try to make the distance between the steering wheel and the brake levers less. Finally, women's bicycles are simply prettier - they have more rounded shapes, bright colors, interesting prints. If you need a bicycle for leisurely city rides, you shouldn't bother with the male model, feel free to take the female model and enjoy the manufacturer's care.
Step 3
On the other hand, the rigidity of the lowered frame is greatly reduced; you cannot engage in sports cycling with it. In general, it will be difficult to ride a long distance on such a bike, so it will not work as a tourist bike either. Based on this, the male model is more suitable for girls who want to buy a bicycle for outdoor activities. Usually, small size men's bikes are great for girls.
Step 4
Otherwise, choosing a bike for a girl is no different from choosing a bike for a man: choose a bike for your type of riding, try to choose models from well-known companies with high-quality equipment, be sure to make a test ride in the store. If the bike is inexpensive, it should have a minimum of unnecessary devices such as a rear shock absorber, a footboard, fenders, since these elements will be of very low quality and will soon fail, it is better to buy a cheap bike with a minimum set, since it contains all the resources during production invested wisely.
