What is the best bicycle choice for me?

kids bike frame sizes image

Melinda S

I am a very small adult woman (4'10" tall). I will be using it for bike trails and 3 mile commutes to work a few times a week. I went to a bike shop and they suggested a kids bike - 24" wheel, 12" frame. It was a Scwinn Midi Mesa. Is this a good choice or should I go with something higher-end?

Answer
If the bike feels like it is the right size after you take it for a ride, then go for it.

How good is Trek 800 bike for adult just to ride around for recreation?

I have the one from 1995 or 1996, and my girl friend keep telling me to "get rid of it" and "buy a new one". Then she flashes off her new Trek bike she just bought last year.

I do not see why I should get rid of my bike and buy a new one when I still enjoy my bike. It looks quite new as I have not ridden that much. She say its for kid's bike size 26" tire....

Should I listen to her ?

Answer
Your girlfriend doesn't know what she's talking about. Back in '96 that bike sold for $294.99. Not exactly cheap for 14 years ago. If you like it - ride it - enjoy it. Kid's bike tires run in the 12" 16" & 24" sizes. Once into 26" wheels, bikes are measured by frame size & will fit anyone from 5' tall to 6' 6" tall.
