I picked up my bike second-hand and it happens to be the type with a step through frame of the type conventionally meant for women. This is the first time I did not have the conventional triangular-framed bike and I have to admit, I do like it better.
It is not that I wear voluminous skirts of anything like that, but the bile is easier to mount. The only thing that is a little harder is carrying it like when I take it up or down starirs. I used to rest the top bar over my shoulder and when that is not there all the weight is ony my hand as I grip it which can get uncomfortable.
Out of curiousity my question above is for the female riders: how many have a step through versus conventional framed bike frame, and which do you prefer?
