We took a break today, will be back at it tomorrow. I need to attach her lock to her bike...I haven't done that because I don't feel comfortable putting it on the lower part of the tube where it will get on the way of her rear brake cable.

You're right gregjones...I caved in and bought panniers and a rack, you won't see me carrying a backpack again if it can be avoided.

I also have a couple of tire tubes and a patch kit I carry just in case of tire malfunction.

I guess she can ride it comfortably, the problem is the stops, it makes it more uncomfortable not being able to touch the floor properly. We'll bike a few more times before deciding on any solutions for the seat, if we do then cycling underwear will probably be it.
