Can this bike handle the bumps and fast turns of the New York City streets? Btw I'm a 5'2 woman and I want to know which size suits me?

It's a standard aluminum frame, and should easily take the corners in NYC. I use it everyday in downtown SF. As for sizing, go for the smallest size and you should also be fine.

The bike can hand let it. But I must warn you. I am 5'8.I am just able to stand on the ground flat footed. I don't think you will be able to touch the ground.

If your going to be hitting a lot of bumps, I'd go for a straight mountain or a cross bike. This bike is more of a street bike and the skinny tires do not like potholes. Other than that, I like it a lot. And for you the 50cm.

This is a sweet bike worth the money and it is well suited for the NY City Streets. I first did not know what size bike to get but I found a sight that helped me pick the correct size. here is the link http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-and-Buy-the-Correct-Bike. good luck I am sure you will enjoy it.

I ride the streets of Orlando, Florida with no problem, the small size is the best option for you.

Hi. I love this bike. My daughter is under 5 feet and has used the bike without issue. I am 5'7" and I just raise the seat and it is perfect for me.

I would say that the bike is ok for a shorter ride like in your subdivision and maybe even a bike trail. However, having longer legs due to my height has made the longer bike rides a bit uncomfortable.

my girl friend is 5'4" and fits her perfect but im no bike expert. Plus the seat and the handlebars are adjustable too. Hope this helps!

I own this bike and i'm obsessed with it. That being said, I commute around the Greater NYC Area CONSTANTLY. I went over the Brooklyn bridge (pretty inclined) the other day and found it to be very difficult (being a one speed bike). If you know you will be dealing with hills frequently I'd say to go with the speeds... but otherwise this bike is extremely portable, eye catching (compliments at least once a day), and convenient. Good luck on your decision.

Yes. My girlfriend is 5'4" and loves the bike. She thinks you'll be very comfortable.

At 5'1" I would say this bike is not the right fit for you. I am 5'4" and my feet do not lay flat on the ground when stopped and sitting on the seat. I have to tilt the bike slightly to the side when stopped at red lights or be on my tip toes. The seat is all the way down already, so there is nothing further I can do besides wear a shoe with a heel.

Its a really nice bike, but I think it will be too small for you. It fits me comfortably and I am 5'9"

I'm 5'4" and it's a little tall but works just fine. It is not good on rocky surfaces because it is a road bike.

You should be fine. I'm 5'4" and had to keep my seat pretty low to get a proper fit. You'll love this bike!

I think u will b fine. I'm 5'2 with plenty of leg room. U could always connect blocks of wood to pedals. Great bike, so worth the money

I really like this bike but if you are under 5'3" it may be difficult to adjust it for your size. I'm 5'3" and my husband adjusted the bike as much as possible (drilled new hole), and he said that was as much of an adjustment that could be made. I still need to use a pillow behind my back to reach the pedals and be comfortable.

I'm 6'2 and 215 lbs, 64 yrs old, in an urban enviroment, I have no problems. Due to street construction, going on for months, now I have to park 3 blocks away. I unfold the bike and ride home. Since the van is now three blocks away I also use it to get to the store occasionally. Therd are other fold down bikes available, of a larger size. If you are looking to put "ALOT" of miles on it, go bigger. This is a rapid deployment, short hop bike. It fits that bill very well.

I find the bike comfortable for me (5'10") and the seat/handle adjustments would help. However, if both are using the same unit, the big difference in your stated sizes may make adjustments a bit of a pain. BJB

I'm 5'2" and put the Yepp Mini on a Trek 7.5 FX WSD Women's Bicycle. I did have to change out the straight handle bar for a curved (like on a beach cruiser) handle bar otherwise, my larger than average toddler's helmet would hinder my arms from reaching. But once we made that change it has been great.
