A little off topic. Can a short person (around 5 ft tall / 152cm) ride this bike? Is the seat very high from the ground?

True, if thieves want to steal, nothing much we can do. My friend just managed to prevent her van from been taken away by a tow truck, the tow people say never pay, so they wanna repossess it, but when challenged to provide documentation, they quickly cabut. They were just car thieves. Too bad she was too shocked to note down their number plate, which was probably fake anyway.

Stealing bike very easy for them, just bring van or small lorry, put the bike in and off they go. Doesn't matter how many locks we have.
