womens bike colours... do women really want pink?

[shootingstar]

Being the only female in a house with three men I need to get an occasional dose of femininity. (Husband & two teen sons) My default color for personal items is pink.

I am typing this on a pink covered MacBook. My phone is pink, I carry a pink pen in my purse, and the list keeps going.

I rarely wear pink and I do not decorate with pink. My home is on the masculine side. There is so little in my life that is ubber feminine that my own sister is surprised when I opt for pink and I have to remind her about the guys out numbering me and my need to stake a feminine claim when I can."

It probably is safer for a bike manufacturer in terms of maximizing bike sales that a frame has pink accents instead of all over pink, unless done as a customized ordered bike.

Wow, Mommybird, the pink-hearted godmother/fairy. However it is understandable, given family composition. I don't have real interior design sense, but our living rm. loveseat is a deep purple-pink rich magenta colour. Set against sleek, black contemporary coffee table, etc. After all, see my avatar, that's my mixed media art work that I did with red, pink, purple and blue shades.

So pink in the right way, can add a slash of drama against black, deep purple, etc. A better way of expressing this is: I don't like pink roses since they aren't as visually dramatic as pink orchids or amrallyis. (I can't be against orchid.....it's my middle Chinese name in translation.)

And I agree with katieliz that pink needs an owner, colour-bearer who can wear /ride the colour with flair. Like our TE member, gnat, with her pink hair, pink-black skort jumper, etc. doing the Death Valley ride.
