As long as the saddle and bike fit her, there is no problem at all! Plus the more triangle frame design holds water bottles much better :)

Thu, 24 May 2012 14:51:47 +0000 http://bikeshopgirl.com/?p=706#comment-15269 I was just wondering if you could tell me if the Trek 7100 bike is fine for women as well? I do mean the Trek 7100 not the Trek 7100 WSD pictured above. My wife recently (Monday, May 21, 2012) bought a Trek 7100. It was one that the sales guy pulled out knowing she was buying for herself and made no mention that there was a 7100 WSD. Granted we know how to tell the difference between a “men’s” and “women’s” bike with the bar between the seat post and handlebar post, but neither of us having never owned a Trek bike before and the sales guy helping us and knowing it was for my wife, we didn’t give it much thought. So back to my original question: I was just wondering if you could tell me if the Trek 7100 “Unisex” bike is fine for women as well? My wife maybe a little disappointed now in her purchase as I think she may have liked the 7100 WSD better. Please advise. Thank-you!!

Loves it too. I read a lot of good recommendations for both bikes before seeing them in the store and they just happened to be right, right fit, etc. Very important. The Trek was especially well rated, but the Raleigh was right for me, and I loved the color!

The Trek is very retro–looks great. She loves it, and Treks, at least in NYC, are very popular.

Greetings from Queens, NY, an outer-borough of the Big Apple (and part of it, too!) I bought a bike this summer and have gotten really into riding. Hope I can keep it up during the winter as much as possible.

I don’t want to sound like a spokesperson for this hybrid bicycle that I purchased, but I love it. The seat (saddle, eh?–I’ll get there eventually) is really comfy. It’s pretty too, and just is an overall terrific bike at a great price. I paid $330 for it.

It’s a 21 speed women’s bike (Raleigh Detour 3.0, 2009). Even the guy in the store took it for a spin himself after I needed the gears adjusted a couple of times. He came back and said “this bike is COMFORTABLE”. (I should post about that on your “Support your local bike shop” because I shopped around and had various experiences.) I hope to post a pic if I can figure out how to do it.

Happy and safe riding everyone! Don’t forget your helmet! (is there a helmet hair article in the archives?)

I miss you! I hope someone is riding you and keep you happy.
