Welcome to the Forum
I'm currently looking for a touring bike for my 4'11' daughter, and will be following this thread closely.
You are using the right approach, trying to find bikes to test ride.
Good luck.
PS. Bike Fridays are not inexpensive. I was just in their shop the other day, getting a part for a BF trailer that I use for grocery hauling, and looked at several of their models. Their bikes are well built with a good reputation. I promised to come back and test ride one, as soon a my shoulder surgery heals a little more-It's hard to ride any bike one handed. However, A custom built CoMotion, also built in Eugene, Oregon; may be a good option. My wife has a custom built 47 cm CoMotion that is really a nice bike, and fits her perfectly. While it is a touring bike, she uses it for just about everything. They are not inexpensive, but it will fit you perfectly, are a beautiful piece of machinery, and IMO are worth the investment.
