Why do boys bikes have a high cross bar, while girls’ have low one? Aaaaaand go! First to solve the puzzle gets 50 rep points. They’ll get harder as they go. ---

I’d guess its the lengths of the tubes to figure for the structural difference between dudes and chicks like proportional difference between the legs and the torso (mid section) I’d assume frame stiffness for a longer bar as well. ---

Actually if you get into the realm of real bikes (quality bike, not some wal mart junker) the ladies bikes get a high top tube as well. They just tweak the geometry a bit to fit the dimensions of a typical woman a bit better. ---
