Tell the manufacturer wizards that they need to come up with a cable and u-lock design that is super strong and super light. Hauling around a heavy duty U-lock is a form of weight training I could do without.
And tell them they need to produce more bikes for short women. Trust me, any lady under 5’2″ has a hard time finding frames that fit properly, esp since most bikes seem to have a men’s style crossbar.
Kathy – the vertically challenged
I talked to some of the manufacturers about women’s bikes. Really – most of them were just a different color…. however, I did ride a sweet felt carbon women’s model (Greenbeltbike has a picture above) that fit me like a glove (50cm – my road bike is a 51 and my cross bike is a 49)…. The cockpit was slightly more compact and the down tube slightly more angled. And it was a nice color even! I am 5’5″ so a bit less vertically challenged. Here’s the bike (the one I road was blue/white – great paint job) http://www.feltbicycles.com/USA/2012/Fit-Woman/ZW-Series/ZW6-21039.aspx
