Usually i would say that either gender could use this bike, but i don't think most men would want to ride a flowery bike.  I would because i don't care what color it has on it, and as they say, "real men wear pink," well i think that "real men can ride pink bikes" as well.  It does have a hefty price tag: @ $499.99.  So i wouldn't recommend going right out a buying this, i would wait til the price drops. check back in either February, when  the prices on bikes are low, or in 6-7 months when the price has dropped after sitting on the show room floor for awhile. check it out @ http://www.target.com/p/alice-olivia-bike/-/A-14189923#prodSlot=medium_1_7&term=Bikes

Keep on Biking....
