Ladies: So You Wanna Buy a Bike??

Alright female riders. What do you want in a bike? Are you just in the market to buy a nice and easy bike in order to cut down on your driving costs? Or do you want to buy that highly specialized road bike that costs $5,000? If you are trying to decide on what type of bike to get, first decide on your priorities and when you will use it. But, if you are looking for a basic bike to get around town, why not look for a bike that has style?? Here are some colorful bikes on the market: (These are Treks or Electras).

Feminizing Your Bike

If you're like me, road bikes transform me into a serious biker (which I'm not) and make me fall more than usual (which is a lot). Even though road bikes look all nice and light, they're too much for me. So instead, I went for a easy mountain bike. Mountain bikes are easy; they have nice fat tires so I don't fall (as often). But the one thing about a traditional mountain bike: it's a little too manly for me. So, I decided to add a little "flare" to my bike in order to make it a little bit more like it was mine. I personalized my bike. First, I put on baskets so I could carry my backpack without having the extra weight on my back and then I added ribbons to the baskets. Then I placed a sign in my front wheel in order to make a bold statement. Check out these pictures!
