I am 4'11 and weigh 125lbs. I'd like a bike I can take on the subway that isn't too heavy, and that also isn't too big for me. Suggestions?

This style and actual bike would be a good choice. It should be manageable in terms of weight versus size.

I don't think this bike would be too big for you to ride. However, it is kind of heavy. There are carry bags with shoulder straps that are made for folding bikes, that might help with the weight a bit.

The bike weighs 29 pounds. I have no problem handling this bike. It has adjustable handle bars, and seat. I am 5'3" and it fits me well.

I am a 6' 3", 180 lb. rider. I feel like it is just about an inch or two short for me, but I normally ride so that my toes just touch the ground. On this bike, I can put my whole foot on the ground when I stop. Some people are more comfortable when their whole foot touches the ground anyway. If I was riding this any farther than three to five miles, it might bother me a bit...particularly my knees due to having less leverage. However, it works fine for my commutes. As for carrying it on a plane, I do not know. I think it might just barely fit, but would be awkward. I would probably check it on. I have carried it onto buses, though, and had no problem with that. - Bob

I own this bike and i'm obsessed with it. That being said, I commute around the Greater NYCArea CONSTANTLY. I went over the Brooklyn bridge (pretty inclined) the other day and found it to be very difficult (being a one speed bike). If you know you will be dealing with hills frequently I'd say to go with the speeds... but otherwise this bike is extremely portable, eye catching (compliments at least once a day), and convenient. Good luck on your decision.

This bike might be to small for you...This is a medium size bike (M 54 cm) at 6'4" you should be on an XL bike (XL 58 cm).

I think it might be too small for you. I love the bike. It is built well and is steel so it weighs a bit

You might want to consider the bike is cumbersome when folded. Ot was a pain to carry and I'm 5'8". My son rides this bike in Chicago.

Its a really nice bike, but I think it will be too small for you. It fits me comfortably and I am 5'9"

the peddler-i think you would be a little to tall for this bike. your at max recommended weight. pushing the maximum weight. it's built more for a big kid 5 foot 5 inches or smaller. i would look into purchasing a taller bike for your height.

I'm 6'2 and 225 lbs...I ride almost every day in LA...very comfortable bike so far...just set your seat on high.

You may try but this would be more appropriate for someone around less than 6 feet and weighing around 80kg. You may look for something more sturdy for a comfortable ride. I would suggest Diamondback 2013 Overdrive V 29'er Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels, expensive but worth it.

Hi there- It wasn't too heavy- I actually never took it out of the box (gift for a mentee) but I was able to take it on the subway with me so it's certainly not too heavy

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up.

This bike is perfect for shorter (or as I like to call us, heightly challenged) people. I would not recommend it for tall people, but she would have a very easy time with it.

I'm 6'4" and I get around on it great. Please note, I don't travel long distances. I bought it to keep in the trunk of my car; then I use it to travel around campus when I'm at school. I also use it when my car's in the shop for repairs. I replaced the seat for something wider and more comfortable. I enjoy this bike very much.

Yes the bike is very light and easy to ride. At 5.5 it should be perfect.I'm 5.10 and had to make several adjustments for my height. Only recommendation is to look into a more comfortable seat. It's a little uncomfortable on those longer rides

I'm 6'2 and 215 lbs, 64 yrs old, in an urban enviroment, I have no problems. Due to street construction, going on for months, now I have to park 3 blocks away. I unfold the bike and ride home. Since the van is now three blocks away I also use it to get to the store occasionally. Therd are other fold down bikes available, of a larger size. If you are looking to put "ALOT" of miles on it, go bigger. This is a rapid deployment, short hop bike. It fits that bill very well.
