Haven't been on a bike since a kid - Also petite frame?

Question

I'm interested in getting a bike to ride around town. I haven't been on a bike since I was a kid so have no idea how to manage, well, anything that an adult's bike has! Also, I am short coming at just under 5 feet tall. Any suggestions for me? I'm not looking to spend much money.

Answer 1

i don't think you can lose the way of riding a bike.. im 14 and i haven't been on a bike since i was 10 and i just got back into it.. and it's the same.. if you want a bmx bike then go to a local skate shop/bakeshop's .. and if your just doing it for fun try wall mart..  

Answer 2

It doesn't matter how old you currently are- cycling is for everyone! I think it makes you feel young! As a cartoon I saw says "Biking exercises my smile muscles!"

Go to a specialty cycling store to get properly fitted and to talk to sales people about the type of cycling you want to do- road cycling? Off road or trail cycling? That will help you decide the type of bike and tires you need to get.

Enjoy!!
