If you're only 5ft3 then you really need to take those bikes out for a ride because most of these bikes may be low to the ground but their forward footpegs are way the hell out front. I'm 5ft6 and I'm not comfortable riding with most of these cruisers because my feet couldn't reach the controls and I have to do some sort of shrimp contortion and that puts my weight all on the small of the back. Hardly a riding position that is geared towards long hauls.

BTW, cruisers are automatically geezer bikes.
