One that she picks out and likes, of course.
I went through this with my then-girlfriend last year. We were going to a place where bike theft was high, and she didn't want to take her nice Specialized, so we went out and found a decent cheap vintage bike she liked to take instead. I found out through that process that what she wants and finds comfortable and important likely is very different than what you place importance on.
