Make sure you measured your inseam properly. Stand against a wall with your legs shoulder width apart. Put a thick book in between your legs (binding facing up) and againt the wall. Lift it as high as it will go, then measure from the top of the book to floor. It's much easier to do with somebody else.
...then your mom walks into the room when you and your "buddy" are holding a thick book between your legs and measuring things.
"No! Wait! Mom, It's not what you think. I'm getting a bike, see...!"
And you mean to say that that (even if mom didn't walk in) is
less awkward than going to a shop and getting fitted for a bike?
