All the women in my family have long legs for their height. My 6' 2" Dad & I rode the same stirrups back in my horsey days. We had to let them out a notch or two for Mother.
Also, I reflexively add about 2" to all pant legs & shirt sleeves when I'm sewing. Habit, doncha know?
I guess I could also say that my spine is short compared to the rest of me, 'cause I could never get the reach on my upright bike anywhere right.
Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
