What's the best bicycle for me?

Question

I'm 5'1", so I need a really small bicycle. Not a BMX though.

Answer 1

Go to a decent cycle shop, not Halfords and they will measure you for the correct size frame for your height and also advise you on type of bike and gearing etc.

Answer 2

Yeah what HOOK said

Answer 3

Personally, I would recommend a nice old three speed. An old Raleigh or something like that.

Answer 4

A hardtail mountain bike with a 13" frame.  Mountain bikes are naturally smaller for better handling, and 13" is offered on most 26" wheel size bike frames.
