Hello I have a question.
First of all, I have not ridden in 35-40 years and today I bought a bicycle...
My question concerns the seat height. I am 5'4". At this time, I have taken the rear reflector off so I can put the bike seat in the lowest position so I feel more stable. My feet touch the ground at this height when sitting on the seat. Not flat, but I do have balance.
After I practice up, what height should the seat actually be? That is my question.
One more thing..... I have a walmart avalon with 26" tires. Not sure if that makes a difference. I did not want to spend a lot of money starting out. I want to wait and see if I stick with it. My plan is 100 miles a month.
Thanks, Jenn
