Getting into bicycling

[(Anonymous)]

Hey f!sers. Long story short, I'd like to get into bicycling but I'm not sure where to start. The last time I tried, it was actually painful for my, eh, intimate area but the bike I'd tried was for a man about nine inches taller than me. My inseam is 27 inches (height 61 inches). Any bicycle buying advice for someone short like me? I'm not rich.

I don't have a lot of advice on buying the bike, per se, but I would point out that you can buy more anatomically friendly bike seats - I've got one made specifically for women. You can also get a wider saddle seat with springs, which is much more comfortable.

It'll probably depend on what kind of bike you're getting. The cruisers tend to have larger, more comfortable saddles as you're sitting more upright. The mountain bikes and road bikes, you tend to lean further forward, and in that case, you may want to replace the seat with something more comfortable for you.

P.S. Obviously you want a smaller bike. You should be able to reach the ground while sitting on the bike seat. I can reach the ground with my tiptoes while seated, and tip slightly to stand on the ground. That's about the right height.

Go to a professional bike shop and get measured. They'll tell you what height and type of bike suit your posture. Posture is a big thing, and no one talks about it, but if you are used to sitting or standing in certain ways, buying a bike that forces your back and joints out of their accustomed positions (too much, all bikes will do that a bit) will be an exercise in pain. If you need a dutch granny bike, and you buy a road racer bike because that is what looks cool, you will get about three days use out of it before craigslisting that thing. So get measured, and try out a few models.
