Which bike to buy?

Question

I want to buy a new bike but I am not sure which size to buy because I am short. So can someone tell me which size bike to buy for a person who is 5'?

Answer 1

Get a tricycle

Answer 2

You need to be fit to the bike, there is no right bike for any size person. 2 people 5' tall, one all legs, one all torso will not fit the same bike. Then there is arm length.  Go to your local bike shop and ride all the bikes in your price range. They will get you the right bike. I had the neck switched out 5 times before we found the size and angle that fit me. With a bike you will start with can you touch the ground w/out hitting the cross bar. Then seat height so your legs fully extend (not hyper extend) on the down peddle. Then handlebars distance, height and maybe replacement with a different angle.

Answer 3

Okay first off that guy is a jag off. He can take that tricycle and shove it up his @$$! Anyways back to business... All mongoose bikes are good even if they are from walmart. I rode everything and there is no mother ******* difference! They are all the same. Sports authority or walmart it doent matter. They sell the same bikes!!!Get a mongoose from walmart and they will never  let you down. A few amount of people say that those suck but it aint true. the frame is a little heavier but that means the chrome is stronger and could last waaaaaaaayy past your lifetime. You will love your bike! I promise yu!
