If you go to a good bike shop the person selling the bike should be able to help fit you to a
suitable bike. I went to the local SuperGo bike shop and the salesman had me sit on a few bikes,
adjusted the seat and found me a bike that fits perfectly. After that he let me ride it around
outside and when I decided to buy, he brought it in back and had everything adjusted and double
checked. He told me that if there was any problems with the gears slipping or anything like that I
could bring it in and get it adjusted for free over the next 45 days. I would expect similar servce
from any bike shop I go to.
