I think it should be "what she does". It looks like a ladies' bike to me.
I should have said what "he/she does" as I previously mentioned "guy/gal". And I figured that only the most insecure man would have a "boy's bike" and suffer swinging his leg over the top bar every time.
The more I look at it, the only thing I can conclude is that the setup is only for transporting the ladder, and the ladder is removable for use. The mounting brackets (especially the front, a lot of leverage on that one) just don't seem strong enough to support the weight of a person on that ladder.
I had thought the same thing on all counts, but I couldn't see a convenient way to secure and release the ladder easily.
But in looking again, even though I don't see any such method, the brackets don't look to be capable of hold much more weight than the ladder itself. That front bracket looks especially fragile.
