Thanks for all the compliments on her bike. She will probably only use it for our rides together. I don`t think she is ready, at this point in her life, to ride a bike like this around her friends. She must keep her cool factor up. She has shown interest in riding, asking to go with me on rides last season. On her mountain bike, the rides where short. Now she has a bike that can go farther faster. She seems to like riding, or she may just like beating her old dad at things. Either way, I love it.
