Darn, that sounds like it will work, I will just have to find her a smaller bike first.

She is 5' 1". I am not sure about mountain bike sizes but I ride a 63 cm Road bike and this bike was WAY to small for me, so I figured it would fit her but she cannot comfortably stand over the top tube. (I don't know if they sell smaller mtb's other than ones with 650 c wheels.

I also don't want to put down cash on a bike if she isn't going to ever use it. So I might keep an eye peeled on craigslist and at goodwill for a bmx bike or a folding bike that would be small enough for her to ride.

Thanks.
