Seems backwards, doesn’t it? It probably began when women wore long skirts and couldn’t get their legs over the bar easily (or modestly).
Well, as you know our culture is based on tradition, and it is tradition that women’s bikes be made to occomodate the room a skirt or dress would need.
Personally, I always thought that it would be better if all bikes were made like women’s bikes for the safety of everybody’s reproductive organs.
This isn’t necessarily true for bikes these days anymore. The triangle frame is stronger therefore accomodating the harsher riding and the heavier weights of men but women are now using the same frames, just smaller in size.
as stupid as it seams…the old reason for this was that even as riding a horse…a “Proper” woman should alwasy keep there legs crossed. if you ask me thats nuts. how eles is a woman suposed to pedle herself? i think its retarded
I think its just an old tradition. Women in the old days had to be careful, decrete and delicate as possible about placing thier leg over a bike, (and everything else) the lower bar enabled that. Design won’t change due to everyone knowing that the bar is lower for women, so blokes would be seen on a bike like that! But one thing has changed women used to ride horses with both legs on one side, you obviously don’t see that nowadays!
Women’s cycles have no crossbar to enable them to be seated without having to raise their legs above the seat and exposing themselves. Also the long skirts could get tangled in the drive and frame.There is no reason that a woman these days cannot use a bike with a crossbar.
its always the kenyan’s, ethiopians, or africans to win marathons it seems. Is it the way their built? or the fact they have to travel everywhere by foot back on their home land.
Not to mention that women with road rage. LOL

Little Italy in New Jersey complains about loud bikes and rowdy …
pedo
how can you do that without a helmet though?
Hiking, going up an down steep hills will help. Also the stairclimber or maybe stairmaster if you actually use it correctly and don't lean on it with your arms. But mostly, I'd say the shape of your butt is pretty much genetically determined.

one of those clamp on bike racks, would probably run less than 50.00…
On bars, Nastia doesn’t compare to Tweddle. I’m not a huge fan of Nastia’s gymnastics- though she does seem like a great person.
wait… really?
Is there some type of “All in One Pass” that would cover the cost of renting unlimited bikes, canoes, and similar activities for a set number of days?
ah sean – of course my bad, for me it was 666 but i block a ton of folks

XBox 360, PS3, Wii, Sega, £39.99, Cert 7, out Friday Two parts Mario Kart to one part OutRun, Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing appropriates the gleeful, exaggerated powerslides of the latter and pilfers almost everything else from the former. It’s a game with no other ambition than to ride the slipstream of Nintendo’s benchmark racer – and with over 20 million sales of the Wii version alone, it’s not hard to see why. That it does so reasonably successfully is a result Sega will likely be delighted with. It shares so many similarities with Nintendo’s famous series that one wonders why Sega didn’t go the whole (hedge)hog and name it Sonic Kart. Weapons are simple reskins of Mario Kart staples, – KO gloves replace green shells, rockets are red shells by another name – and the homage doesn’t end there. Sliding around corners triggers a turbo boost, while bikes are capable of tricks on straights to compensate for their relative fragility. Racers can even pull mid-air tricks to gain a burst…
I'm totally with you. It's sexist and silly. The women's tour has had, and continues to have, great matches. It seems that somehow in the past few years the powers that be at the networks have gotten it into their heads that the only time women count in tennis is when they're models running around on the court inefficiently collecting balls (Madrid Open), or when it's someone who looks like Sharapova. Heck, I'd like to see more of Feli Lopez, Safin, or Gonzales, but in the men's game it's supposed to be all about skill not looks, but in the women's the reverse. It sucks!
ASICS!

I would make an appointment with your dentist first. They may be able to make some adjustments to your retainer that might correct the problem. But yes, if you had too, you can always get the teeth straightened again with either conventional braces, or something like Invisalign. In a 'touch up' type of case like yours, Invisalign can work pretty quickly to correct the alignment. Good luck!

OMG that was that most amazing volley i've ever seen… off the crossbar and STRAIGHT back!!! wow
Bode like Farve, old at their sport, but the best.
Brule moves in, shoots, hits crossbar.
Ed Davis, u can tell that last year he was more effective because of all the experience that was around him. This year he is stinking it up, I understand why but I hope he realize that he must step up and very soon especially tonight against clemson.

I think it has something to do with the dryness.
I’m looking at older (70s-80s) motorcycles. Which makes and models are the easiest to obtain parts for these days? Which makes and models should I be looking at in terms of cheap cheap beater bikes?
I’ve traded in my two wheeled vehicles for a car, and am starting to miss riding already. I’m stalking craigslist at an unhealthy rate trying to find a bike for around $500. There are plenty of older Kawasakis and Hondas, as I knew there would be, but there are so many more models than I’m familiar with. Can anyone help me sort through this and find a small, reliable cruiser for my riding and wrenching pleasure?
these boys are my loves
i can only imagine the incredible rush bikers get by doing this, i love this video it’s so amazing<3
