I am 4'11 and weigh 125lbs. I'd like a bike I can take on the subway that isn't too heavy, and that also isn't too big for me. Suggestions?

This style and actual bike would be a good choice. It should be manageable in terms of weight versus size.

I don't think this bike would be too big for you to ride. However, it is kind of heavy. There are carry bags with shoulder straps that are made for folding bikes, that might help with the weight a bit.

The bike weighs 29 pounds. I have no problem handling this bike. It has adjustable handle bars, and seat. I am 5'3" and it fits me well.

I'm 6'4" and I get around on it great. Please note, I don't travel long distances. I bought it to keep in the trunk of my car; then I use it to travel around campus when I'm at school. I also use it when my car's in the shop for repairs. I replaced the seat for something wider and more comfortable. I enjoy this bike very much.

It's a tall bike! I'm 5'6" and feel that is on the tall side. Would recommend a smaller bike.

Hi,In my opinion this bike might be on the small side for you. I am 5'8'' and feel just right on it...

Yes the bike is very light and easy to ride. At 5.5 it should be perfect.I'm 5.10 and had to make several adjustments for my height. Only recommendation is to look into a more comfortable seat. It's a little uncomfortable on those longer rides

My brother is approximately 5'11 and loves the bike and uses it for his main transportation.

This won't be big enough for you for long. If you are looking for something speedier...I totally recommend a Motovox Mini Motor Bike...they are totally cool and will hold the weight of a man while still being the right size for you now. They are awesome fun too! But of you want a scooter like this...it's great...but I'm 5'5'' and have to spread my knees outward when I ride my daughter's, to avoid hitting the handle bars...slower than the Motovox bike too.

I am a 5'5 and this bike is pretty comfortable, although the seat is set almost all the way down..but that doesn't mean is not gonna be good for you, everybody's comfortable level is different...I think the best is to find one in store and see how it feels!

I was 325 when I purchased the bike and it handled my weight quite well. What I like about it was the fact that you had your back supported the whole time. I would make the assumption that it should be okay for you. The adjustable seat is nice. The only thing that I feel it was missing was an integral fan, but we solved that problem by getting a small 4" clamp on type that we attach to the handles.

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.

A bicycle with 20" tires is best because the basket is tall and will fit under the seat, unless you're short!

I'm 5'9" and 160 pounds and the bike works fine for me. I do need to keep both hands on the handlebars.

I am 5'11'' and with the seat at the lowest setting this bike is perfect for me. If you're comfortable with the bars being slightly lower than the seat (which is the recommended position), then this bike will suit your height with no problem.

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up. How much do you weigh?

Yes a 52cm bike would likely be a nice fit for you. You could always head to your local bike shop and have them measure you and advise you on the perfect size road bike for you.

I own this bike and i'm obsessed with it. That being said, I commute around the Greater NYCArea 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.

You might have already bought this, but, I'm 5'7, 148lbs. I purchased the medium. It is a hair too big. The 29" tires really help elevate this so it's hard to gage what you would be comfortable with. If I had to purchase again this particular bike, I'd roll with the small.
