Nothing, it's a bit of a joke that's all. The bikes in their lesbian category have stand-over frames
and would, in a "straight" bike shop, be called women's bikes.Colin

As such thats either tokenism or just a poor joke.

That's not tokenism by any normal definition of the word I know
How about this? It is a start-up business with gay owners, they feel that one approach to building
their business is to market to the gay community. They know, and that community knows, that bikes
aren't gay-specific---they are doing it in a light-hearted way after all---but it's an angle.Colin

straight men don't need it [1]? I've forwarded the link to a gay friend, he might have an answer.Anyway, I was tickled by their e-mail address. queeries@....

That depends whether you're male of female.
