Dear Bike Companies:

[GLC1968]

the average woman does have a smaller head (and a smaller brain, smaller feet and smaller hands) than the average man.
Those are undisputable facts.

It never occurred to me to buy a woman's helmet. The Bell small fits me with a slight adjustment off the rack.

Well, sure...they also typically have smaller bodies. But my point is - is the head shapped any different? Why have two different standards? Why not just go by hat size (in inches or cm)?

Women's shoes make sense since women's feet are not just smaller, they are shapped differently. Same with women's bodies, obviously.... But heads? I wouldn't think so. Maybe women's heads are more oblong or more narrow...or there is some other differentiating characteristic. It just doesn't seem like there would be any developmental reason why they would be different, you know?

Smaller??? Ha! Try FINDING women's bike shoes in size 11.
Ain't gonna happen. Oh yeah...it's that bike thing: Women cyclists are petite, skinny, little things with tiny hands, tiny feet, tiny heads.

That's why I bought MY bike!!

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
