    I'm 5'1". That 14" bike sounded too big for you...if you felt uncomfortable in your leg extension to the ground.

    Only a more experienced cyclist will want their bike fit with a slightly longer leg extension so they don't feel too "tight" in their body geometry on bike.

    Don't be surprised if it takes you months to find a bike that fits you. But when it does fit you, it's a joy to ride.

    Do also aim for a bike frame, light in weight. You will thank yourself when you tackle hills ..or mountains.

    You will find first few rides hard...but just keep at it and love the ride every time. Freedom at its best!
