My husband just bought a bike from somebody and says he thinks its a ladies bike, I think its a mens bike. Is there anyway of telling?

The classic “girl” vs “boy” bikes aren’t really made that way any more. There is now no structural difference in good bikes between male and female specific designs. There are differences in geometry because, thankfully, men and women aren’t built the same. Of course, this doesn’t keep some companies from building bikes with lower top tubes and calling them women’s bikes purely for marketing reasons. The only thing that matters is whether or not the bike fits your husband and if he enjoys riding it.
Many many years ago, I used a big, heavy, old blue Columbia girl’s bike for my paper route becuase I could fit a huge basket onto it to hold the papers. Nobody laughed because they were afraid I would bash into them with that tank of a bike. Thanks for bringing up that memory.
theres a different bar in the middle
They look the same ! Women’s bike are just built a little smaller in reach, ect.
It’s 2008 ! Bikes without a crossbar are outdated !
ladies bikes have a lower crossbar to save thier blushes
the big bar that goes across from the seat to the handle bars if its flat its a mans but if it at a sharp angle going down towards the seat its a femailes
The men bike has the bar under the seat going straight across and the girls bar goes down toward the pedal of the bike.
There are but a few answers here that are educated. Ladies bikes now days are the same frame look as a Man’s except for measurements. The WSD as mentioned above are a bike fitted to the smaller female size.
Your bike, may or may not be a man’s or WSD. Call the bike shop that sells that brand. Plug the brand and model into your search engine. Add the info of your bike as additional info here, and we can tell you. Any of the 3 and you have your answer.
on ladies bikes you don’t have to say OUCH! every two minutes at least girls dont?
On a mans bike the bar goes straight across the top, a ladies a ladies slopes down from the handle bars to the seat.
Ladies’ bikes have no cross bar.
Years ago and still with some box store bikes the difference was if it had a top tube or not. Men’s bike had a top tube women’s didn’t. Today on a name brand quality bike the bike is actually made with different spec’s. What the manufacturers did is finally realize that most women have a different inseam to torso ratio when compared to men, and adjusted the frame dimensions. However when getting fitted for a bike some women actually fit a men’s bike better. As to tell if it is women specific bike there should be some marking near the frame size as to tell you it is women’s specific. Several of the manufactures use the letters “WS” next to the frame size.
EDIT:
Sorry wacky but they were not lowered top tubes!
A top tube is defined as the tube connected from the TOP of the head tube to the TOP of the seat tube! Not the tube from the top of the head tube to the just above the bottom bracket! Women’s bikes were really a double down tube design best known as a “step-thru frame”!
Men’s bikes have what is called a “Penis extension bar” other wise known as a “cross bar”..
Women’s bikes have a gap , whole or triangular chasm , where the “Penis extension bar” should be , if it were a man’s bike …..though sometimes they have a “mini penis extension bar” ., just below where the penis extension bar should be.
This was so that the ladies would not have to step over the “penis extension bat” , revealing their innermost secrets and desires , and what they had for dinner , to the entire world.
Men on the other hand are proud to display their “penis extension bar” to the world….as that is the nature of man.
As with all things in the world of Advertising , the Penis extension bar , was designed to sell more cycles , using the penis extension bar , as a powerful sexually inspired sales “tool” , but the translation was lost , because of the timidity of manufacturers , and the intervention of Political Correctiveness , and the “Penis Extension Bar” , thus became known as the “Cross bar” or “Higher or upper Tube”
All sales and advertising invoke the Power of sex , in their design and are derived from”The hierarchy of needs” , as designated by a leading Psychologist whose name I’m afraid escapes me at this moment in time !
So there you have it ! Hope this helps.
Quality bikes are made in “men’s” style. Both men and women ride these. It matters for the fact that the men’s style makes a strong triangulated frame unlike the women’s style.
A lady bike has a lower crossbar ( depending on what kind of bike) on a normal tourer type bike this is almost at a 45 angle. On a mens bike the crossbar is usually straight, parrallel to the road. Why? A lady is supposed to not be able to get her leg up and over this bar with a dress on ( from victorian times) whereas the straight crossbar is more likely to do the man some damage to his family jewels if he has an accident. You would think it should be the other way round…..ouch
one is for male the other female. i think thats it.
They’re all wrong. Back in the day, ladies bikes had a lowered top tube, so ladies in skirts could step through. NOW, we have WSD: women’s specific designs. The bikes look the same the difference is subtle. WSD bikes have shorter top tubes and usually have some specific component differences like: narrower handlebars; short-reach brake levers; women’s seats; and sometimes shorter cranks. These bikes are usually marked as WSD, or have different model names all together. Go on-line and search for the bike model you should be able to figure it out.
also depends that what is the women’s breast size does it touch to bike’s handle. if so this is not for womens. thanks
Electric dirt bikes? I don’t think it will catch on. Will we be forced into it with EPA restrictions in the future? Could you imagine the SX races? Would it be as fun to watch when you can hear a pin drop in the arena?
They didn’t attend church, Val. We’ve already let Dave’s parents know (his father is a preacher) so they can speak to their congregation tonight to see what they can do. I’ll also be hitting up the derby ladies tonight.
Ok ladies the offer still stands first lady to dm me two tracks off "Welcome To Flatbush" gets (cont)
Grab it up under the belly and lift it then support the bottom and back legs. Or you can grab it quickly at the back of the neck and then support the bottom. I usually do just grab mine under the belly and pull them to me and then support their backend in my arm.
why aren’t the audience paying attention?! and why do they look so confused!

Shared 18 times Despite people’s expectation of change and movement on the screen, CSS and HTML have few controls that allow you to design interactivity, and those that exist are binary. A link is either one color or another. A text field is either one size or another. A photo is either transparent or opaque. No in-betweens from one state to the next. No transitions. This has led to most web pages feeling abrupt, with elements shifting and changing ungracefully. Yes, we can use DHTML and leverage the jQuery library for transitions, but this requires a lot of code for something that should be very simple. What we need is a quick and easy way to add simple transitions to the page and in this article you’ll find useful information about CSS transitions and how to use them. A few months back, I stuck my foot in my mouth by suggesting that designers should start using the new CSS 3 techniques that allow them to do some of the basic styling that they’ve been pleading for. The only issue:…

Every fossil found is an "in betweener." From australopithecus to homo erectus to cro magnon to homo sapiens.
Of course, no matter how many fossils you find, some bozo can always point "in between" any two of them and complain that there's no fossil been found "there" yet.

When I moved to Barcelona from my small town I thought a lot of people have a bike here. Where I come from it rains a lot so it’s not that usual to see people on a bike. But… Amsterdam… There everybody has a bike, there are bikes everywhere.

You’ll analyze and obsess over choosing the shortest and fastest checkout line at your grocery store. And you probably even reply to emails while on conference calls. You do all of these things and more while telling yourself you need to use your other 8 hours as efficiently as possible. But there’s a HUGE difference between using your time productively and investing your time effectively.

I don't know, but I wish they'd bloody leave other people's cats alone!
There's a woman who keeps taking one of my cats into her house. He goes missing for days! The only explanation is that she keeps him locked in there! I swear, if she does it much longer I'll be calling the police! The cat is micro-chipped so I can prove he is mine if the interfering old busy-body decides to contest my claim.
the nude ones arent gonna stand out as much as the printed ones and will work better with an outfit

The bonding is stronger when the lattice energy is higher. So NaCl has stronger bonding than KCl.
The reason is that the ionic radius of Na+ is smaller than the ionic radius of K+ so that means the Na+ ions can pack closer together with the Cl ions in a NaCl lattice than the K+ and Cl- ions can in a KCl lattice.
The force holding the ions together is stronger when the ions are closer together so NaCl is bonded more strongly than KCl.
Lattice energy is the energy released when free ions condense into a crystal lattice. So logically the same value of energy is needed to break up that lattice and put the ions back into being free from each other again. That's why lattice energy values give an indication of the strength of the ionic bonding.
