Thanks for all the replies. I actually chuckled alot, due to the fact that she isn't my girlfriend (I am interested though), or wife. But anyways.

Right now she's riding a beach crusier bike that she found at a thrift store. Most of the bolts are stripped, so it's gunna be her leisure bike.

Pensacola. Well, it sucks. I am one of a tight community of bike riders. From what I know now, only 8-10 of us ride bikes exclusively for transportation. Pensacola has been called "redneck riviera" for plenty of reasons. Just tonight I was run off the white stripe on the side of the road by a trucker who later on tried to cut a quick right to either hit me or freak me out.
but luckily my lady friend lives basically downtown, so she doesn't have to deal with alot of the major roads.

The major questions that I was trying to get answer for where: What bike suggestions should I give her? She's an impulse buyer and doesn't like to shop around. So whatever someone tries to sell her, she'll prolly end up buying. She wants a bike with a sloping TT, which cuts out pretty much all road bikes. I told her she'd prolly be most interested in a hybrid, since she wants gears. Any females here that are very happy with their hybrids??? or wish you had something else?

I would try to teach her proper traffic riding, but I know that I would probably lose her to the sidewalk. Or start weaving through the traffic gaps like I usually do. We don't have bike trails, no bike lanes either. Pensacola has a hard enough time trying to keep it's buses funded and running, much less even considering cyclists who might want to ride their bikes past the neighbor's house.

Pensacola will piss off even the best of riders. That's just the type of people we deal with down here. They expect you to drive a truck or suv here, they will even say it.
