Why do men's bicycles have a crossbar and womens don't, you'd think it should be the other way round? |
Surley men have more to loose if they slip off the pedal... This is not about "slipping the pedal" thing. This design came because women have skirts, and because of the reason they cannot/should not put their leg too high, their crossbar was made lower, so they have easy way to access the bike. This is the only reason. astute observation.......that's what they call IRONY. Because women used to pedal with long skirts and they needed to hang down without the bar in the way. Women used to wear dresses and long skirts all the time. A crossbar would have made riding impossible. Ha ha - this thought has often crossed my mind! But having just been out on my husband's bike, I'm very glad I don't have a crossbar - it's not very elegant getting on and off ;-) They found women were enjoying it way too much. wOrd No kidding! I think it's for reinforcement (weight distribution). |
