    Hi, everyone

    I am new to cycling, I have an old Peugeot ladies road bike & have been riding it for the past year, I feel I need a new bike now, but all the bikes are unisex, can anyone advise as to what to get, I dont mind second hand & does anyone have one they would like to sell.

    thanks

    Hi, welcome to the forum.
    Hi, welcome to the forum. Specialized seem to be well-regarded in this area, they have whole product management teams devoted to womens bikes and kit – unlike some vendors, this does not consist of simply using a condescending shade of pink paint. I believe the ‘Dolce’ is popular.

    May I ask what your price range is? (Don’t be shy of telling us that you don’t want to spend megabucks, it might be an expensive sport but we aren’t all loaded! 😀 )

    Hi there,

    Bikes are not necessarily uni-sex, there are ‘female specific’ road bikes – they just tend to be a bit rarer and unfortunately a little bit more expensive.

    As possible routes to explore:

    Check out Evans selection of female road bikes:

    or

    The smallest size of the Triban 3 might do the job:

    It would help to put yourself through this to help choosing sizes:
