Hey guys,

I've been toying with the idea of getting a bike to start riding. I haven't ridden a bike since I was in elementary school, with the exception of renting a mountain bike last year once.

I would really like to start riding again, but that rental left me really frustrated. It was a 14" and felt way too big for me, but was the smallest size the shop had. I didn't like having to lean to one side almost a foot before being able to reach the ground and found a lot of pressure was put on my wrists while riding.

Is that something I am just going to have to learn to deal with, or are there actually bikes out there that would fit me better? I'm only 5'2" and about 115lbs.

Any advice you could give me would help. I've tried looking up guides online but they all speak bike terminology that is beyond someone who hasn't ridden since she was 12.

thanks in advance,
