The Best Belt-Drive and Internally-Geared Bikes for 2018

There is a big debate in the industry about this subject. On one side of the fence some will say that women are shaped differently or that they have different riding goals from their male counterparts, so they need a gender-specific bike, just as much as they need gender-specific clothing and shoes. The counter argument is to say that women are just riders, and they don’t ride any differently to men, so the frame at least should stay the same.
