lol and hopefully your daughter isn't on BF and you spoiled her birthday surprise
I remember getting a 24" geared bike with a POS rear drum brake (thing ALWAYS needed adjustment), I think for my 9th b-day, and then a 26" Roadmaster steel 18 or 21sp MTB for Christmas when I was 12 (almost 13). That was the last bike I got before getting my current KHS bike at 26 in 2006. Don't recall what bike I learned to ride on. I only remember the 24" being a bit too large for me when I first got it at age 9. I also remember my brother getting a blue 20" BMX-style bike with white tires one Christmas. The 16" bike he had before that is what I helped him learned to ride with.
Most of this stuff I recall because we used to have old home videos of us with these bikes that I used to watch a lot. Sure wish I could find that VHS tape.
