Nice bike.

If it is set up for your height, so long as you don't have horrible balance you'll be able to control it. It's not about physical strength or body size, it's about balance and control.

If you have little to basic riding skills though I'd suggest taking atleast one class with a driving place. Riding a bike isn't just about your skill, you also need to learn to make other drivers aware of you, and know how to act if they don't. They'll also ensure the bike is set up properly for you.
