What size bike should a 5’2 woman ride?

5'2" isn't that short for a woman so your choices aren't that limited. Sizewise, you should be looking at a bike that is around 15" if you plan on riding mostly road, and 13" to 15" if you want to mountain bike. You will also find some models in centimeters.
