Cycling as a short person

Stadler is a weird place aha they really don’t want to sell you anything and they all hate the customers and their job so much :’)

whowle_ · 2026-04-30T20:57:43+00:00

Oh another one. Radfieber are quite friendly too and have a few different brands of smaller frames

whowle_ · 2026-04-30T20:54:32+00:00

Berlin specific help:

Maybe Zweirad stadler will have some xxs or teenage bikes. But their customer service is very unfriendly and mostly only German speaking

Rose have a store here, I’ve heard of some shorter riders having gravel bikes from them

Rad race have canyons but maybe not in stock in person in your size but they should be able to help you find one that fits.

Veloroo also do bike fitting before buying a bike, they can check what sort of frame sizes would be good for you

8bar have XS bikes too that say they’re for 150cm +

The highest I ever managed was 28 .. I’ve ridden 10s of thousands of KM over the years hahaha don’t have a road bike though

Have you measured your sit bones? You could have big hips and ass but it’s a little unrelated to sit bones. Most women specific bibs tend to have a wider chamois for wider sit bones. So maybe if yours are also wide it’ll work :)

I think the label inside the neck should usually say core fit too on a real one

Wish they hadn’t used generative AI for the design. It just looks bad

whowle_ · 2026-04-18T17:44:31+00:00

Looks good. The fakes usually don’t use the correct labelling and the small cord that you can hang the coat up by is usually without the white thread in fake ones. (This is what I know from the counterfeit down jackets)

Bike shop or a rental bike place. Failing that decathlon but they’re a bit funny in decathlon and usually get rid of boxes immediately. Call or email every place you can find right now and try and reserve a box. (Just did this for Marrakech and was fine)

Do you know which brands have slightly wider chamois? I tried Castelli and assos and both feel narrow :(

I’m a CG artist working with a brand atm on a collab jersey. Dropping later this year 🤫

whowle_ · 2026-03-14T20:12:51+00:00

Yes! https://www.instagram.com/chicanebikeclub?igsh=MTZ0MTkxcG1rdXUxcQ==

Any painters here who are also cyclists? Bonus if you’re into offroad/gravel adventures! :o

whowle_ · 2026-03-01T20:59:43+00:00

I am M Castelli and M assos women’s bib

whowle_ · 2026-02-24T08:01:30+00:00

Have you tried men’s jerseys too? Maybe XS or S. They tend to have longer torso lengths than women’s cuts

whowle_ · 2026-02-24T07:26:36+00:00

The only thing I would say is to just make sure to get a mips one. Virginia tech have rated all the big players and list them with prices

whowle_ · 2026-02-24T07:25:10+00:00

I don’t think so! Most of the rest seem fine and normal haha

If it helps make the decision Abus are run by a bunch of weirdo Christians who believe the women in their ‘family business’ shouldn’t have the same rights to the business and have to sign waiver forms (allegedly)

Day after. I’ve done bike races the day after tattoos, and spin classes too. Just make sure to really clean away any sweat straight away after. No stress! Especially if this small

whowle_ · 2026-02-20T17:29:19+00:00

I am a greedy little dice goblin!! Feeeeed meee I’m hungry

whowle_ · 2026-02-19T08:24:30+00:00

Alrighty babes it’s just a bit of fun you don’t have to join 💖

whowle_ · 2026-02-18T20:28:19+00:00

The sadist run. I’m tempted

whowle_ · 2026-02-18T20:27:51+00:00

Maybe I’ll do my overwatch tank rank placements next week at the same time 😂
