I will be stuck with either a mountain bike... or a kid's bike

I am SHORT

So yesterday I went looking at bikes to get an idea how much I needed to put away.

And ONLY ONE bike in the adult range fit me.

I tried a hybrid and I felt I was going to fall down

So if I decide to go for the adult bike I am looking at about 500 when all is said and done with the usual safety crap and a rack. (and tax)

If I go for the kids bike... I am looking at about half of that...

And for the record, the last bike I bought was twenty years ago, and it was a really cheap kid's bike at Woolworth's (some of you may remember them... the place today is an Old Navy)

I wanted something a little sturdier, and chiefly lighter... that thing was a tank! But it did what I needed it to do.

And yes it is frustrating.
