    HI Theodore. Thank you for the nice review and glad you enjoyed the Guides, route and food! Regarding the bikes, we use Mountain bikes and according to your size gave you a XL frame, which is the correct size for your height. Due to the terrain we use Mountain bikes that have front shocks to make the ride more comfortable. Unfortunately Mountain Bike handle bars are not really height adjustable like city bikes and that is what the guide tried to explain.
