Step through bikes

[RobF]

Crossbars for men is mainly a British thing.

The Germans and particularly the Dutch see the various types of open frames as unisex.

Drop handlebars for a touring bike is another British idiosyncrasy.

On the continent, drops are for road/racing.

Touring bikes - also known as trekking bikes - are usually flat barred.

A lot of blokes just aren't 'in touch' with their feminine side.

A real man does NOT have a feminine side.

Oh! the pain of cracking the nuts on the cross bar when slipping off the peddles

I'm not likely buy a step through for myself (fit 50+ male) but have become fond of my wife ebike step through.

Only just start swinging my leg through inside to get on and off, works well when scooting. Definitely a fan of up right position, a lot easier on arms and back plus makes looking behind easier.

Step throughs are now known universally in the trade as step throughs,not ladies bikes. Similarly,It won't be long,maybe already, that diamond frame bikes cease to be called mens bikes.
I suppose its the type of step through and the colour...I have coming soon 2 italian retro styled step throughs,which are styled and coloured such that they would probably appeal mostly to ladies,but my Kudos Sonata is a very dynamic bike and styled/coloured to be unisex.
