.. because it says this on their sales page: "Oxygen Diva has been designed specifically for women. It's a fairly simple version..." o_O

I'm getting the loan Giant bike on Monday, so looking forward to testing that on my big hill home. :)

Just hope it won't be too complicated for a mere woman ;):D

One wouldn't think that possible in this day and age!

They clearly are unaware of the very capable women we've had as members of this forum, some of whom having posted very competent technical advice to male inquirers.

They are not alone though. I saw a comment from a General Motors spokesman that they added handbrake warning lights to cope with women drivers not disengaging the handbrake when setting off in their high powered American cars.

The two sentences aren't connected. There's no colon between them. It's the same as saying, "It's designed specially for women. It comes in white or black colours", as opposed to, " It's specially for women: It's pink".

The Diva's a very comfy, user-friendly bike. Don't miss out because of a bit of misinterpretation.

My observation was tongue in cheek :) To be fair, I'm not in the market for a step-thru bike anyway and the eMate I tried was excellent.

And, if I'm being honest... I loved the "simplicity" of the Nuvinci hub on the Moustache I tried - no gear changes to worry about :D

Hi Helen,

Maybe you should consider an eZee bike, they are simple enough to be ridden by men who don't know how to operate a washing machine works:)

By the way the Sprint LDS 8, which is ridden by both ladies and gentlemen, comes in a variety of colours including pink and one with pretty designer graphics too:cool:

We try to cater for both genders and all orientationso_O

Still trying to make sure you don't upset the knockers John?
Knockers:eek: I do beg your pardon JH, but it is before the watershed and there could be some children who have hacked the parental controls to view this siteo_O

Actually MS, the captions refer to the photos below them and the lady with CA V2 is the Swiss designer Anne Rosat who came up with the graphics on the bike :p

People have diverse opinions and tastes when it comes to art and design.
It would be interesting to hear what you like, but on the other hand maybe not:rolleyes:
LOL LOL LOL John you have me cracking up. As Donna Summer would say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH".:D
