Ladies? New bike for wife.
All are welcome to comment, however I'm particularly interested in women's comments that may have had similar experiences.
My wife has been riding a beach cruiser police auction special that weighs in the 30+ lbs range. Recently, she's expressed an interest in something new and lighter.
I'm curious what people may recommend.
I'd love to get her onto something like a hybrid or drop bar commuter, but I think she'd prefer sometime like the the Felt Cafe here:

She has struggled with seat comfort, gearing, and fit in general. If I can convince her to do a fitting, that would be a win.
I would love any kind of gateway drug bicycles this community could suggest to bridge her from beautiful beach cruisers to something more rideable.
