My mum is looking to get a bike for doing some rides on towpaths and round the lanes to get a bit fitter and lose weight. As such it'll be a hybrid/ commuter bike that she gets (probably second hand, the cheaper the better really, maybe only up to ~£150 or so).
Does a ladies bike have a different geometry that is going to make much difference, she thinks that the pedal position on a ladies bike relative to the saddle on a ladies bike is better for a ladies pelvis. I'm not so sure, but have no experience of the matter. Would it be better just to buy a men's hybrid and get the stem/seatpost/saddle adjusted to her dimensions by a bike shop?
Many thanks.
