I'm 46 and never rode a bike.  I'd like to learn.  I tried once but got nowhere.  I'm only 4' 11" and my inside leg is only about 24-25" so regular bikes are hard for me to try and get a push off.

Think I might get a kid's bike to learn on and then get a more adult size.  Any tips on what size bike I should try and learn on?

I would visit a cycling store if there is one near you... you don't have to buy from them, but they could probably give useful tips
