Can the handle bars be adjusted towards the seat? Would this one be ok for someone 5"1?

Sherry, no the handle bars do not adjust towards the seat. They only adjust up or down. I'm 5"2 and love this bike. It works well for me and I use it 4-5 times a week for almost 1 year now.

The handle bar is fixed height, not adjustable. The seat is adjustable. It's not a very comfortable bike, regardless of height. It's very wiggly due to the small tires and narrow handlebars combined with a butt killing seat.

I do not think this bike will be a good fit for you. I am 5 foot 7 inches tall. The seat will adjust, but the handlebars do not adjust. When I raised the seat to my ideal height, it seems the handle bars are slightly too low. For some one your size, you will have to raise the seat even more, which will make the handlbars height more of a problem.

I am 5'2 and have no problem with the handle height. It is not adjustable that I am aware

I'm only about 5'3 and have no problems at all with this bike. The seat does adjust enough for you to be comfortable while you're using it. :-)

It's not easily adjustable. We're working on adjusting it for my wife who is 5' 4" and it involves unscrewing some bolts and shortening the chain. There are some limited adjustments you can make with just the seat which are easy to do.

I am 5'10 insim 30" you should be able to ride this. You can adjust seat and handle bar. My girlfriend purchased the women's she is 5'4. We had to adjust her seat a few times. She wanted a flat foot on the ground.

Yes, it will work for you. I am 5'1" and it works fine. I leave it on a setting between my height and my hubby's and use a pillow behind my back in order to reach the pedals and not have to change the seat adjustment. But if you are the only one using it, just set it where you want it and leave it.

No. I am 5'4 and it's a little higher than I would like but it works. (I feel like I am used to a little lower with my Bob) However, Bob's argument has always been, with running, hitting bumps, etc, an adjustable handlebar might be subjected to to much strain and could break on you. Personally I prefer one that doesn't move for that reason.

I'm 5'6" and I can ride it just fine. The seat and handle bars are adjustable as well. Just make sure you tighten them very well.

I just got this bike and it works for someone who is 4'11". I can fully pedal while sitting properly in the chair (on its lowest setting) and have no issues holding onto the handlebars. I think those shorter than me would find it difficult to reach the pedals comfortably.

Somewhat. My little one is tall for his age, and needed to sit up straighter. So I pulled the handlebar up a bit and tightened the screws. It has been just fine for him, with no further adjustment needed.

Yes you can adjust the seat and handles to the lowest settings. It may feel awkward at first but you'll get used to it. I'm about 5'1 with tennis shoes on and it doesn't bother me.

I'm 5'2" and I find it comfortable. I do not have the seat set at its lowest but I do have the handle bars set at its highest setting. The seat itself is also adjustable for angle and of course you can move it forward or backward. You have to play with the settings until you find the combinations of positions that suit your overall frame but then you would have to do that with any bike. Hope this helps.

I am 5'1" and I pull the handle bar all the way up for comfort and my husband is 5'7" and he puts it the same way and it does not bother him.

I am 5'1" and it works great for me. I do not have the seat at the lowest level. I am very happy with this bike.
