Can anyone identify this pedal a Jamis Nova road bike?
We generally don't make specific shoe, clothing or part recommendations beyond this kind of general advice because product recommendations go out of date very quickly

Help with identifying this "Cinelli" bike frame
Welcome to Bicycles! This site is a little different from a typical forum. The expectation here is that users give a detailed yet direct and factual answer focused on the original question. "Answers" like this that basically just say "me too" are frowned upon. Instead, we upvote useful questions and answers. Please [Take the Tour](tour) for more information about how this and other Stack Exchange sites work.

Why aren't there more bicycles and accessories designed specifically for women?
That "bloke" edited your question (a normal activity on this site) because the community (not me) flagged it, & the comments attached to it as "Rude, Abusive, or Harmful". The edits were made to 1. recognize that contrary to "None" there have been numerous companies designing women specific gear, & 2. phrase the question in a way that it was likely to get factual answers, not wild opinions. Factual answers to objective questions is the goal of this site. I am trying to be as helpful and reasonable as I can, while at the same time responding as a moderator to flags by the community.

Your assumption that there are NONE is an opinion, not a fact. There are actually many bikes, saddles, grips, clothing and other accessories designed specifically for women, as both answers show. I have tried to gently nudge this question in a direction that is both answerable with facts, and still sensitive to what seems to be your opinion that not a single past or current attempt by any company to create women-specific equipment is satisfactory. If you find that unsuitable you are free to delete the question, or we can close it.

Welcome to Bicycles! In its original form your post seemed like an angry rant, and in the comments you appear to want to argue about one of the research based answers presented. Neither action is in line with our goals as a Q/A site. Please see the Tour for an overview of how this and other Stack Exchange sites work. In the meantime, I have edited your question for clarity, and to recognize that there does exist at least some cycling equipment designed specifically for women. I've also deleted the more heated comment thread.

Greasing a roller brake in a difficult spot!
Welcome to Bicycles! This site is a little different from a typical forum. The expectation here is that users give a detailed yet direct and factual explanation to the question asked, which in this case is "how do I get the grease into the roller brake", not "what kind of grease should I use." That's why this answer is getting flagged and down-voted. Please Take the Tour for more information about how this and other Stack Exchange sites work.

What is this hole used for in this nameplate for Shimano 105 5800 Brake Shifter?
Welcome to Bicycles! I noticed your "Bump" comment. This works differently from a traditional online forum. You may want to take the tour for more information on how to get the most out of this and other Stack Exchange sites.

Are brake calipers directional?
This has been flagged as "Not an Answer" - would you mind editing your response to more clearly address the questions about directionality of disc brakes and feasibility of mounting a second front brake?
