So glad to see your daughter getting out and riding. Our daughter is 14. She's not so much on the bike riding.

For anyone that says that getting a box store bike is at least getting kids on bikes...

My wife got our daughter a Schwinn "cruiser" bike. I think it's an 8 speed grip shifty thing. It's black and pink and white... It's a little rocker girl bike. It's the bike SHE wanted.

Our daughter would ride it down to the convenience store otherwise it sat in the garage. We finally talked her into a ride to get burgers and ice cream. Wouldn't you know it- the derailleur got twisted into the spokes and really hosed up her ride and her day. She was mad and embarrassed. I have a good feeling that is the last time I'm going to see her on a bike.
