The Difference Between Boys' Bikes and Girls' Bikes

A couple of the ladies in my office were discussing bicycles, and especially why a girls' bike has no cross bar, while a boys' bike does. They said, "That's a question for Ed." My guess was because years ago many females wore skirts while riding their bikes. But, I needed to know for sure. I found this article which confirms my thoughts. The article also gives kudos to what Trek is doing. I ride a Trek Fuel, so I guess I am very partial to Trek. Just a word of caution, the article does refer to various male "parts" and how they may be injured on the cross bar of a boys' bike. Just a word of caution for those who may find offense.
