Hey Nancy
I was so encouraged to see your post. I live in Knoxville too! I found TE by googling the exact question that you had. I am so happy to know that I am not the only one out there with the same concerns and questions as you. Like you I also require a "girls" bike at 5'2" with a 28" inseam it seems like there aren't a lot of bikes out there. But have hope. Right now I have a Haro mountain bike, and it's really a beast to try and ride. I am looking at getting a bike I can sit up right on. Also I know that it is a bit farther but try West End Bikes in Farragut. Very nice people and didn't give me the "look" you know what I mean..the "why are YOU in here" look. I know I hold myself back in a lot of ways because of low self esteem. I have been very over weight my whole life and made fun of, so it's sort of scary to get out there. I hope to see you around.
