Yeah, the big thing is to be in the frame of mind of meeting her needs. If she's po', accept that. Heck, if it's important to you she get a decent bike, why not buy her one? You can sell it if she ends up not being into it.
Make clear that you're trying to share something you're passionate about. But don't be cynical or dismissive. Just share. It's so easy in this life to get wrapped up in the things we care about and forget why we started liking them in the first place. Or to get so in ourselves that we don't pay the right kind of attention to our family's needs.
