Choosing the right bicycle size is critical in bike fitting. A bike that’s too small will cramp your peddaling, make riding difficult, and will cause your energy expenditure to be less than efficient. A bike that is too big will handle poorly and be dangerous to ride, and make mounting and dismounting more difficult. Keep in mind that frame sizes from XXS to XXL don’t have the same meaning for every manufacturer.
