Getting the right bike size and build is essential for a comfortable ride and enjoyable riding experience. Sometimes when taking photos of people in Oxford, I cringe at how bad the position looks. (The other thing which causes consternation is seeing how many people pedal with the balls of the feet rather than just below the toes)
This bike Looks a bit too big
The legendary Sheldon Brown, showing an early version of the ‘superman position’. Well it’s pretty aero.
Saddle looks a bit too low, but for coolness factor who cares?
These Brompton racers show that adjustments to saddle and handlebars can create a comfortable riding position even with a very small frame.
Steering is more difficult when the handlebars are so close to the body.
