I am 5'6 and I can ALMOST flat foot my bike. I have maybe an inch between my heel and the ground. When ever I go anywhere and try to back my bike up into a parking spot, I move so slowly I just end up getting off and pulling it back with the kickstand down just in case. This works, however, it is a hazard to traffic coming when I park down town and in my parking lot, I hold up cars trying to pass. Any other short riders in here? Any tips on how to back up faster? I REALLY do not want to lower it.
