As a short person (just under five feet) does this bike feel comfortable? Schwinn 240- does it work for " little people."

I'm 5'4" and set the seat at the number 4 position. Not sure how short you are, but the number 1 position would put the seat very close to the pedals. They sell this bike at Dick's Sporting goods which is where we tried it out.

My daughter is 5'0" with short legs and she rides it in position 1 comfortably. I'm 5'6" and ride in position 5.

I'm 5'2" and I find it comfortable. I do not have the seat set at its lowest but I do have the handle bars set at its highest setting. The seat itself is also adjustable for angle and of course you can move it forward or backward. You have to play with the settings until you find the combinations of positions that suit your overall frame but then you would have to do that with any bike. Hope this helps.

Yes, I got this bike for my daughter who is 5'-2" and it's a good fit for her.

Yes I think so. I'm 5'9" and the bike feels small for me. Almost everything on it is adjustable.

I bought bike for my 5'6" wife, she has not used it yet. I am 5'8" and rode it a little. Seemed fine.

Eunice Cho - I bought this model for my mother who is 5' 3", and for her the seat setting is at slot 4, meaning there are 3 closer settings available for even shorter people, so my best guess is yes. To be positive, go online and find a local store that has this or similar Schwinn model and have them demonstrate it for you.

This bike is supposedly made for anyone under 5'4" so I think it would work fine. We bought this bike for our son who is only 4'8" tall and it works great for him. It does depend on how comfortable you are riding a bike - my daughter who is 5"2" prefers this size bike but I am 5'1" and like a bigger bike.

I am unable to answer this but I am 5'4" and I feel the bike is big and heavy - not in a bad way it provides the robustness that I was looking for. My husband who is 5'11" also rides this bike and it suits him as well.

I am 5'5" and have the seat as far down as it will go. I have short legs so it's hard to say whether someone 5'2" could use it comfortably. My knees don't straighten out all the way if that's any help to answering your question. It may also be possible to put small blocks on the pedals if that would help. I love the bike and use it 20 minutes a day at about 10mph. Have put 123 miles on it already.

I'm 5'11" and the handle bars are not adjustable so I'm at a comfortable ride as is. You probably would not be comfortable with this bike.

No this bike is not too big for you. I am 5'2" and it is not big at all for me. I am sure it would be fine for you.

This is a fine bike for short people. It is one of the best exercise bikes I have ever ridden. I am 5"1'--and a friend of mine who is a bit shorter recently bought this model and tells me it works for her too.

I'm 5' 6" and this bike is good for me. Also, I think you can adjust the seat higher or lower.

I'm 6'0" and able to use this bike semi comfortably. I don't think your height will make it uncomfortable you. It would be more difficult for taller riders.

No, not at all. I am 5 foot tall and it's a great bike! Not too large at all. I really enjoy the bike, you won't be sorry if you get it.

My wife has the same bike, she is 5'6" and it fits her just fine. I'm 6' and it feels a little small for me.

I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination but I am 6" 2" and use the bike often and have experienced no problems....it does depend on the person I am laid back guy who is not real serious about biking I just get on it 3 of 4 times a week and ride for 20min....it works for me just fine
