Welcome to TE, Ojoscafes!

My advice: I'm with goldfinch on this. If you're getting your daughter a bike, there's no reason you can't use the one she's getting to learn how to ride a bike again. I will say that this forum does tend to skew "roadie" to some degree, and there's nothing wrong with flat-bar road bikes/fitness hybrids/whatever they're calling them now. If you think you'll want to do distance in the future, get your daughter a bike, then get the roadie, or a nicer FX. Are you planning on riding with your husband?

I got into cycling after not having ridden a bike for ten years, and the last bike I had was the single-speed with a coaster brake that I had as a kid. I learned to ride again by borrowing a friend's mountain bike. I was planning to get Giant's equivalent of the FX, but since the people I thought I'd be riding with had road bikes, I decided to go ahead and get the Avail. Yes, the first few rides were...interesting, to say the least, but I'm glad I bought the road bike.
