Hmm where do I start?
First that webpage is utter crap it tells you nothing of any value.
Second does your wife really want a bike? Are you sure I would take a look at the bikes for sale pages on this site the number of people who have made bikes for their girlfriends is innumerable
Third if she does wan a bike take her to a decent bike shop and give the bike there a try.

Building on the success of last year’s one-day event, we are back for a whole weekend to celebrate the many wonderful ways in which women and bicycles are changing the world!
With a glittering cast of speakers, including cycling celebrities and up-and-coming heroes, practical workshops to help you put your cycling ambitions into action, guided rides for all levels, yoga classes for the flexible and inflexible, delicious food, a chance to try out clothing and accessories especially designed for women, and dozens of new friends and riding buddies. On Sunday the theme of the day is kids and bikes, so bring your favourite small person – let’s get them while they’re young.
Whether you’re a seasoned cycling pro or nervous novice there’s something for you. So come and celebrate the power and potential of Women & Bicycles!
