Can this bike handle the bumps and fast turns of the New York City streets? Btw I'm a 5'2 woman and I want to know which size suits me?

It's a standard aluminum frame, and should easily take the corners in NYC. I use it everyday in downtown SF. As for sizing, go for the smallest size and you should also be fine.

The bike can hand let it. But I must warn you. I am 5'8.I am just able to stand on the ground flat footed. I don't think you will be able to touch the ground.

If your going to be hitting a lot of bumps, I'd go for a straight mountain or a cross bike. This bike is more of a street bike and the skinny tires do not like potholes. Other than that, I like it a lot. And for you the 50cm.

This is a sweet bike worth the money and it is well suited for the NY City Streets. I first did not know what size bike to get but I found a sight that helped me pick the correct size. here is the link http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-and-Buy-the-Correct-Bike. good luck I am sure you will enjoy it.

I ride the streets of Orlando, Florida with no problem, the small size is the best option for you.

Boy, it depends on body proportions. I am just 5'3", but I have long legs for a short girl. I like a 31-32 inseam in pants. I like my 15" bike. I would venture to say that the 15" is probably well suited to a 5'5" woman. When I stop, I land on tip toes, so I think at 5'5" the 17" bike would still be too tall to navigate easily.

I am 5'10" with a 32" inseam, my wife is 5'3 with a 29" inseam and the bike fits us great. She can go down another 2-3" if needed, and I can go up another 2-3" if needed. I bought 2 bikes, one for the wife and one for me...we love them, they are still running strong after many miles....if your looking for a good ol spin bike without a bunch of fancy electronics then this is the bike for you

I'm NTSC sure. I'm 5'5" and it's a bit tall for me but works pretty well. It might be the reverse for you - a bit short but doable. Hope this helps! I love the bike!

I think u will b fine. I'm 5'2 with plenty of leg room. U could always connect blocks of wood to pedals. Great bike, so worth the money

I am 5'10 insim 30" you should be able to ride this. You can adjust seat and handle bar. My girlfriend purchased the women's she is 5'4. We had to adjust her seat a few times. She wanted a flat foot on the ground.

I am a 5'5 and this bike is pretty comfortable, although the seat is set almost all the way down..but that doesn't mean is not gonna be good for you, everybody's comfortable level is different...I think the best is to find one in store and see how it feels!

We suggest the rider who above 5'3" riding this bike, you may select a Columba 20" folding bike, thanks!

no, in fact it is too small for a 5'7 woman - knees hit the handlebars. it is really hard to put together correctly. i had 2 arrive damaged and my local bike shop had to piece them together to make 1 semi-functional bike. they had to discard both back fenders because they hit the wheel. do not recommend

I find the bike comfortable for me (5'10") and the seat/handle adjustments would help. However, if both are using the same unit, the big difference in your stated sizes may make adjustments a bit of a pain. BJB

Yes, I'm not quite 5'2", and it fits me fine. There are plenty of adjustments you can make. I also think the bike is pretty quiet. Overall, I'm really pleased with it and would definitely recommend.

I'm 5'4" and it's a little tall but works just fine. It is not good on rocky surfaces because it is a road bike.

You're riding on street right? I would assume since you're looking for a road bike. I owned one for awhile. When I first got it, the rim was bent, contacted amazon, the shipped a new bike out and told me to take what I needed and ship it back. If you're tall, it may be a little to small. I'm 5ft 11 and it was fine for me. The only issue is the pedals are kinda low, so if you take a sharp turn and your foot is extended all the way your pedal will hit the asphalt. If I were you, I would save up extra $$ and get a better bike. It's a decent bike but you spend a few hundred more and get a lot better bike. You're riding on street right?

It's a pretty big bike and the bar is high. I would recommend their step-through bike for women like their Stride 500 here: Prodeco V3 Stride 500 8 Speed Electric Bicycle, Black Pearl Metallic Gloss, 26-Inch/One Size

I'm 5'5" and it works well for me, but the best way to make sure it will work for you is if you can find an RC-30 that is set up in a store so that you can try it. That's what I did before buying. After trying out several different exercise bikes, some of which I found unstable/uncomfortable or where my knees hit the handlebar as I pedaled, I decided on the RC-30.
