what is the deal with the gender of bikes?
why are there different bikes for men and women? is there an actual reason for the slanty vs. straight bars?

Slanty bars let you ride the bike while wearing a skirt. Crazy, I know, but I've seen businesswomen on their way to work in SF with mid-length skirts on women's bikes.
The "regular" triangle frames are a bit stronger, so work better if you don't wear skirts/kilts while riding.
never understood why "boys" bikes had the horizontal bar, because, for a male, it is PAINFUL if you slide off seat forward or your feet leave pedels. Back in the olden days I would "borrow" by sisters bike to do jumps in the vacant lot---safer.
It depends on the color of the bike.
