Thesize of a bicycle is indicated by both the frame and the diameter of the wheels. It is also important to take into account the range of movement that the saddle allows us to raise and lower it. Generally, the recommended heights for each bicycle model are published in the product specifications.

The wheels on city bikes usually come in two sizes, 26" and 28". We recommend bikes with 26-inch wheels for people under 1.65 metres tall, but as we have indicated, it is important to pay attention to the size of the frame.

City bike frames are measured from the centre of the bottom bracket (the pedal axle) to the saddle clamp (where the seat post or tube is attached). This measurement can give us an idea of the frame size, but it is also important to take into account the geometry of the frame.

The bicycle frame is the steel structure that supports the rest of the components, and its geometry indicates the riding style. It can have the shape of a traditional Dutch bicycle, which is large and slightly tilted backwards, allowing us to ride in an upright position, or the geometry of a classic Italian bicycle, which is smaller and more manoeuvrable but allows for a very comfortable ride without having to sit so upright.
