I was reading in Eddy B.'s road racing book that Bill Walton (the
basketball player) is an avid bicyclist. I think he might even do some
racing. Anyway, although his bike is custom made, there are production
frames available for tall people. You can also use "Dyna-Drive" pedals
which allow one to ride a bike a cou[ple of centimeters smaller than
with standard pedals because they put your feet lower than the spindles.
Using longer crankarms is also helpful for taller people.
