What's the best bike size for me?


i'm about 5'2 and average weight. age 19, probably won't grow anymore. what size bike should i get? like i've seen bikes that are 24" any suggestios? i want to get a beach cruiser, if that makes any difference.

Go to a bike shop and let them help you select the proper size bike. They have people qualified to do this. Once you know the proper size, you can do some apples-to-apples comparison shopping with other bike stores. Don't feel obligated to buy a bike from the store that first fits you. If they don't have the best value, then you should not buy from them. In any case, you will probably be back to buy tires, tubes, accessories, and clothing.

HTH

I would go to a bike shop and see what they have to say. Some people have different lengths of legs and of course body styles. A professional and make a correct decision!

Good luck, I just got a new bike for Christmas and am loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beach cruisers. You would fit well on a 24" (tire size) Beach cruise, and most likely a 26" tire too.

The size question has already been pretty well addressed but I wanted to add a bike recommendation.
I bought an Electra Townie recently and really like it. They do have a womans Townie 24. I'm sure there are other bikes that ride similarly but Electra bikes work well and have style.
