Are you tall? or a shortarse?

[fossyant]

Mr Average here - 5' 9" - thought I was 5' 8" until last year when properly measured in a BUPA checkup...ah well (paid for by my employer, just as I handed my notice in..ho ho)..

Only thing with being 6' plus, is your bikes look stupidly lanky..heh heh..nothing 'compact' about them...hee hee...

Short in NZ, average in UK, tall in France... work that out.

What's that in feet and inches?

Or metres and centimetres, if you prefer!

Martin Johnson, 6' 7", 18 and a bit stone, of English Rubgy fame was a sight to behold lycra'd up hammering round the velodrome . That bike looked very small indeed.

A lot of respect to him for doing it

[dantheman]

is 6' really that tall, for a bloke i mean?? (my other half is a mere 5' 11".

 

[Vera Wayfromee]

I'm 5'10" barefoot (which is just as well at my weight) - but in my 5" stilettos I struggle to find a dance partner tall enough for the smooches!

I've not tried the stilettos while riding. I think I'll stick to flatter fotwear for that.

 

[Monkey Boy]

6'1" in me socks. Product of the milkman....Dad is 5'8" and Ma is 5'2". Milkman has a lot to answer to...my younger bro is a 6 footer too. Older Bro is 5'10" and will now be called shortie!

Now that all the vertically challenged people know where they stand on this forum, I take it they won't bother to contribute any more to this thread Dayvo

Sorry mate, I can see you are not Happy, but you seem a little Grumpy.

As for me, I'm 175cm and entirely unbothered by it. I used to be of the national average height, but I think I'm officially short now!

 

[Scoosh]

191 cm. I haven't a clue what it is in old money.

6 3 ish. Must make you feel a little short over there !

 

[Kirstie]

5'6". How average, for a girl. It's why I like platform shoes, and I get all excited when they're back in fashion. I have quite a collection and refuse to throw them away...!

"Average" as usually found by adding up everyone (adult male) and dividing by the number is about 5' 9", however there are more "dwarves" than "giants" so most men are about 5' 10".

 

[on the road]

I'm 5' 6"

I must be a dwarve then
