I mean, I didn't film it, but it’s honestly pretty wild watching someone ride through all those nails 😁 😁

Check out this interesting video

nimbletinker10, you're right
but honestly, any men's bike can be adjusted to fit a woman perfectly... just some minor tweaks to the seat height and handlebar angle, and it's good to go.

And obviously, you really need to test drive a bike before buying it. Try out several different sizes to see which one actually feels right on you.
Here’s a quick chart to help you estimate which frame size might work best for your height:

I'm thinking of spending somewhere between $2,000 and $1333. I'll mostly be out on the road, but I know those forest trails will eventually pull me in. My office has a shower, so that makes things easier. Since I plan to ride every other day, I'll just drop off my ironed shirt at work the day before...

Here are a few bikes I think are solid in that price range ($2,000 - $1333)
