I thought about emailing the bike manufacturer
Maybe this is why women buy bikes that are specifically designed for women.... so that things are made to fit our smaller bodies.

I wish I had tested one of those before purchasing my bike.

But, seeing how you can buy anything you need for a bike... I bet you can get handlebars and brakes that are made for a smaller frame... but then again, it sucks to spend more $$$$ to make the bike fit!
