Even though you're talking steak to an involuntary vegetarian!

I'm barely 5' tall myself and as I replied elsewhere, made quite a career of wrecking 26" bikes until I gave up and settled for a 24". The 26" one was easy and fun to ride, but the stops were terrible. Now I can put both feet flat on the ground when I stop, so no more wrecks the last couple years. Now I just have trouble pumping the damned thing uphill. One reason I prefer horses! But then hay's too damned expensive anymore.
