Why have Specific Bikes for Women?
More and more manufacturers are becoming aware of the specific needs of the female cyclist, and getting away from the 'Shrink and Pink' attitude for building female specific geometry. Now we are seeing changes such as; narrower handler bars, reduced reach on gear and brake levers to cater for smaller hands, shorter top tube lengths to account for female limb/body proportions and specific saddle designs amongst other things. No longer do women have to fit themselves around a bike designed for a man; they now have many mountain and road bike options designed with them in mind.
As always at KeswickBikes.co.uk we beleive the proof is in the riding, and suggest you get yourself down to one of our shops where you will recieve expert advice and have the chance to try out the bikes you are interested in. You may find that a bike designed specifically for a woman is in fact not the best fit for you...after all, not all women have long legs, short bodies and small hands, even more choice then! For further information regarding availability and stock please call us on; (017687)75752 for road bikes, or (017687)80586 for information on mountain bikes.
Oh, and don't worry, they're not all pink...although if pink is your thing, we cater for that too.
