You are welcome. Let us know how she likes it. I am subborn and was insistant upon learning, it was the mental fear of biking that kept me off one for 37 years. It truly helped to have a supportive husband and 3 kids to help me learn. I have always been athletic, so I think that helped as I have fairly good balance and core strength.

I forgot to add, for me personally (my past fear of bikes), I would never, ever have gotten on a road bike. The comfort bike frightened me until I learned and then I craved more. Now I cannot imagine not riding a road bike.
