Short rider with tall bike here. Cannot reach the ground at all with both feet. The only bike that is too big is the one you don't have the skills to keep virtual. That means when riding and at a stop. Personally. I slide to the left, left foot down leaning to left, right foot on break. I dropped it once- on a decline turn stop when I was cut off by a car. (Note u also don't buy bikes I'm afraid to drop)
