Works well with women's bikes?

I just bought one today to fit two women's bikes. I got one on (a Trek Cruiser) but don't think I can carry two with it. I drove 22 highway miles and had no problem.

YES, both the bikes I carried are women's, the wheels set in cups that you strap the wheels to and there is a middle bar to attach the upper part of the bike to. I had another carrier and the bikes shook and rattled all the time, not so with this one, loved it and had it attached to a hitch on the front of my truck!

I bought it for my wife so I guess it's a women's bike. I does not have a horizontal cross bar from the seat to the steering hub, making it possible to step into the bike instead of having to swing your leg over the seat.

We have an adult female bike and it fits fine. The female bike just sits at an angle

Yes if you have a woman's bike you will need the bar that fits under your seat and attaches to the handle bar so that your bike can be mounted on the bike rack. I really like my bike rack

I had a men's road bike and a women's town bike and they both fit fine. The rubber "cradles" that hold the bikes swivel so they can rotate to accept the angled seat post and angled front frame of the women's bike. Had to figure it out, but it all worked in the end.

Although the bike cradles do rotate, it's not enough to accommodate a typical adult lady's bike. An added adapter bar for the girl's bike does work. The rack does not easily accommodate smaller bikes since the cradle/rack may be to big to fit through the center of the smaller bike without considerable effort.

I recently bought two of these for use with a Tern Link C7 folding bike, in combination with the Biologic Portage rack. They work well for me. There isn't much clearance between my heels and the basket, but it does work. If you pull up too close to a curb the basket will drag on the curb, due to the short stature of the bike.

This carrier works best for bikes that use a round type of tube that goes between the seat and headstock, and also works best if that tube is parallel with the ground so you can find the balance point which allows the rack to support the load without the bike wanted to slide one way or another. If the load is balanced the clamp acts more to keep the load "located" rather than keeping the bike from sliding which is what it has to do if the top frame tube is sloped. That said, I've purchase one of those bars that stretch between the headstock and seat post to be able to carrier a women's step through type of bike and that works well but does require a little extra effort. I also find that using a bungee cord over the crank and anchoring the ends to the hitch safety chain loops steadies the bike nicely.

I don't see why this wouldn't work with a women's bike as long as the seat comes with the support bar.

It should, however the bike will hang at the angle of the top tube. if that doesn't matter then go for it. It will not work on a woman's Mixte frame.

I don't see any reason why this bike should not be appropriate for women. If this is what they want, they should be able to use it.

You can buy the straight bar attachment for cruisers/women's bikes, but I can tell you from experience a cruiser will fit on this rack it just sits in a awkward position but is stable.

We have two electra townies that work fine on this rack. But we do use some extra padding so bikes don't rub together.

Being a ladies bike you would need to buy an adaptor that attaches beneath the seat and to from handle bar post so that it will sit in the cradle of the bike rack.

If your bike is light no problem. Maybe get an extension for the ramp or the steep angel might be a little harder. I usually pull up next to a curb when possible and have the bike on the sidewalk but I am a woman so it's a little heavier for me.

Yes. I have my daughter's women's frame bike on one of them, although I have hers a little tilted downward because of the frame, so it doesn't look as straightforward as men's frames. That said, the supports are adjustable, and they have rubber covers to grip even at the odd angles, so it can handle women's frames.
