No. A BMX is almost entirely ridden "out of the saddle" (=standing up), so size doesn't mean that much. (most) MTBs are intended for some seated riding, which makes frame size much more important.

How are mountain bikes made?
Basically the same as road bikes, but with thicker tubes and bigger welds.
Why do mountain bikes have flatter tires with a rough tread?
For better traction. Street bikes are made to ride on concrete and tarmac. Pretty much the same terrain everywhere. Mountain bikes are made to ride on dirt, mud, gravel, sticks, rocks, grass - and to get traction on those types of surfaces you need a wider, knobblier tire.
Is the rockrider 5.2 mountain bike designed for women?
Not specifically. If you're a woman, don't let that bother you though, as most "women specific" bikes are the same as the mens bikes - only in smaller sizes and in "cuter" color schemes. Whatever your gender you can buy pretty much any bike of appropriately the right size, be ready to change the stem and the saddle and you're good to ride.
How big is a blue bird?

Can you get different sized penny farthing bikes?
BITD you certainly could. Since the pedals turned at the same speed as the wheel, people wanted as big wheels as possible. And since they were direct-drive, front Wheels couldn't have a bigger radius than the leg length of the rider. And since riders came in different sizes, the bikes came in different sizes.
Why aren't mountain bikes made like road bikes?
Same reason Indy cars aren't built like off-road cars, they're meant to be used for different purposes. Road bikes are meant to travel fast on hard, smooth surfaces, while mountain bikes are meant to travel slower on uneven, loose ground. Different uses, different designs. What you need to do good under one set of circumstances might not be that useful under another set of circumstances.

How are bikes for ladies different from bikes for men?
A woman's bike traditionally did not have the horizontal crossbar that was present on a man's bike. This was due to modesty and the fact that women wore dresses. Today however, many women are riding the same bikes as men. Another difference is that a woman's bike usually has a smaller frame size because women on average are not as tall as men.
