Denise,

Glad I could help put your mind at ease.

Hey, if you keep on riding the Nirvana, you won't be at your weight for long!

My mantra is: just keep on pedaling, no matter what! It doesn't matter how slow you are, as long as you keep on pedaling. Because you can't get faster if you don't keep pedaling!

BTW, I'm short too. I'm 5'1" (and a half!) It's good to have a bike that fits! I have a 14" WSD Trek Mountain Bike and a 47cm Trek WSD Road Bike -- both are a joy to ride because they fit me well.

Keep on pedaling!!
