That's a great strike of luck that you were able to find a nice used bike for her. We bought a used bike for$20 to take with us for our nephew when we go camping. I think he has already outgrown it, so I am really glad I didn't spend hundreds on a new one for him. My wife and I still use my parents old bikes. They have to be thirty years old at least.

They grow out of them so fast - it is not worth buying new. At least in the early stages. However for Smallsteps, the bike has to be light enough as she is pretty slight. If it is too heavy, she struggles a lot. The bikes that are cheaper weigh about twice as much - and last about half as long. Her current bike is new because the only ones we had available to get used at the time were the heavy ones.

I have my father inlaw's bike - but don't ride it. Most of my injuries have come on two wheels :D
Ah yeah, that is a good point about the weight of the bike. I know the one we got was still good quality, but it isn't light lifting it up to hang from the rafters in the garage.
