    We probably have the same issue with clothes altho since I've been cycling for almost 5 yrs now and lost about 25 lbs, regular size clothing hasn't been an issue for me. Where I get into to a problem is with women's cycling clothes. Knickers and tights are too short most of the time in the size I should wear so I have to get a larger size for the length, and jerseys aren't usually long enough. For jerseys I often get a men's size as it fits better in the torso area and arm length as well.
    Bike Goddess, I have the same issue with tights and jerseys. Though I have that issue with a lot of clothes, not just cycling. I was this height in the 6th grade with 10 feet, I thought I was going to be 7 feet tall before I was done

    Great Job on losing the weight, I'm hoping to lose about 15 lbs so hopefully cycling will work its magic for me

    My short legged buddy and I always laugh when we wear knickers....his could almost be tights for being so long and mine shorts, just above the knee.

    Size 9 or 9 1/2 depending on the shoe.
    5'8 and some, 35" inseam, arms to match (proportionately), no torso whatsoever. When I was 2 the doctor predicted my height would top out at 4'8". Apparently only my middle was listening, someone forgot to mention this to the rest of me.
    56cm Raleigh with shorter stem and half a mile of seat post hanging out.


    Fits me pretty well though I am sometimes teased for confusing it with the mountain bike on account of all that room between seat and top tube.

    I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
