What is Standover Height?

By , About.com Guide

Definition: This is the measurement from the ground to the top tube. There should be several inches of clearance between the top tube and the rider’s crotch when one straddles their bike with their feet on the ground. Proper standover height allows riders to mount and dismount their bike safely.
