Title- Our Pick-The Giant OCR AOW

Findings:

• The Giant OCR AOW offers a more upright position than other road bikes and accomodates wider hips, narrower shoulders, smaller hands, and other anatomical specs of the female body.
• It may seem pricey ($1800), but it's such a comfy ride, you'll want to keep it forever.
• Made of stiff aluminum (which translates your pedal prowness directly into speed) and lightweight, bump-dampening carbon fiber, this 20-speed horse has gears that make climbing a cinch, while its chick-specific design means descending is way less shriek-provoking because your weight is distributed evenly.
• Giant also makes the woman-specific OCR A1W, with slightly less-fancy parts, for $1400.
