Ride On: The Best Bike
Whether you're pedaling to work or through a workout, the Trek 1.1 WSD gives you the comfort of a cruiser with all the perks of a performance racer at a fraction of the price. It is built to suit the female form; the women-specific design modifications include a shorter top tube to distribute your weight evenly and comfortably between your hips and hands. And the reach-adjustable levers fit more naturally in women's smaller hands, so it's less work to brake and shift gears. ($660, trekbikes.com for stores)

Um, I'm 5'9 and the Trek 1.1 WSD bike didn't work out well for me at all. Actually, none of their women's bikes do. I'm too long for it. Instead, I purchased the Trek 7.3 FX (Men's bike) and it's the perfect fit. Hope this helps for you other taller ladies out there.
