I want to get my daughter a starter road bike. She's an avid soccer player, but I want to introduce her to the joy of cycling. We can spend time together, I can teach her a sport she can do her whole lifetime and she can strengthen her legs for soccer.

I ride a Trek Pilot WSD.

She is 12 years old, 13 in September, but she is very petite. I question whether I should get her a new starter road bike or get a good used one. I'm concerned with how quickly she will grow out of her bike. I'm 5' 3" so I don't think she'll be much taller when she is done growing.

Do any of you know of any other options? (I live in New Jersey, near Philadelphia)
