Yall no me i'm no leftie but some gendered stuff are retarded. Like bike for women? What the fuck it's a machine retard why cant i use it just because I have a penis? Discrimination

Don't know if trolling or not...

@12bitfloat He is, obviously.

@12bitfloat I'm not.

Try busting your nut on that stupid metal bar in the middle that HAVE to be there to show off your virility.

Come on, it's idiotic.

@antigermanist I mean... Even the stackexchange you posted has the answer for you right at the top. Your traditional "mens" bike was the original bike. That's the most obvious and structurally sound design. But women at that time were almost exclusively wearing skirts, mostly long skirts. If those were used with the high bar, wind would easily lift it, so the "womens" bike was invented as a solution to that little problem.

But since the original design is the more optimal one (there are even better ones afaik), you are now in a position where both have to be made because both have their *practical* use. It has nothing to do with gender or sex, not really. It has everything to do with clothing, structure and practicality. They could've named it the T and Y bike just as well and maybe people would complain less, but that shouldn't really matter if it's the same product anyway.

Besides, as the guy said, if you choose the right frame and seat and you should have no problem

@Hazarth that's bullshit. The bar is in the way and if you miss the seat you're busting your balls on it. Tell me it never happened to you

@Hazarth "Women" bikes are way more convenient.

@Hazarth "men" bikes are just the patriarchy conspiring to emasculate men.

@12bitfloat trolling or retard?
=> yes

@antigermanist I mean, just don't miss the seat then or don't just throw your body down without feeling the seat with your butt

This doesn't seem like that big of a problem

You won't ride it just because it's labeled as a woman's bike? Are you so afraid of what people would say about you?

@antigermanist how on Earth can you miss a seat....?

I guess you have a condition that only allows you to ride a feminine bike after all. Preferably with side wheels

You're literally busting your balls to prove your masculinity when you can just ride a "women's" bike. I ride a men's because I think the straight simple truss structure is pretty. Is that a masculine reason? Do I give a fuck?

I'm netherlands 75% of bikes are female I guess. The grandma bike is very popular. It's used for going out as well. Also, the idea is if you have the most ugly worthless bike, the bike next to it will be stolen, not yours. Something I like about dutch culture.

Interesting that we have a certain type of bike popular now. The fatbike. While it was very important back in the days how high your seat is (still is for effeciency) it can't be changed in height. Very weird.

@whimsical Yeah the one bike store here only has "woman's" bikes

Also, check your size. I'm no expert but I have three guesses, either your seat is pitched wrong causing you to slide off, or the frame is too big causing you to stretch too far forward to reach the handlebar. It took me visiting the bike shop at closing time for the repair man to see me get on the bike and point out that the piece securing the handlebar to the steering column is too long and I would be a lot more comfortable if I replaced it with a shorter or possibly an inverted one, which is far cheaper than a new smaller frame.

@lorentz @netikras @12bitfloat @cafecortado

You guys just say that because your testicles are small

@antigermanist you would know

@antigermanist My testicles are the ideal size for riding the village bicycle that is your mum

@lorentz hey my mum is not a bycycle.

At the very least she would be a quad. Very loud
