I'm so glad you pointed that out. The other day, on the blog Half of Me, someone recommended picking up a bicycle from a pawn shop. That's fine if you've made sure it's your size, but otherwise... [shudders] It's odd, but people who would never buy a running shoe that didn't fit do not see a problem with buying a bicycle that doesn't fit. And then they blame the bike when body parts start to hurt :( [slaps forehead] I forgot to mention the smaller front wheel! I’m so glad you pointed that out.
