Girlfrien wants to ride

Postby Xdmxer » May 11th, 2011, 9:10 pm

so my girlfriend wants a bike but idk if she will like trail riding or not, so I don't want her to get a trail bike if she doesn't need one. So my question is where could we rent a women's bike? The only place I know of is trails edge but their selection is limited. I was thinking about getting her a Myka ht, she sat on one and liked it but if she doesn't need a trail capable bike I don't want to waste the money. Btw she's has zero experience, she's has cruised around town on my dirt jumper but she says the seat hurts her to bad to ride it on the trail.

Get her signed up for the DNRE BOW ASAP! She'll learn to ride trails comfortably with a supportive group of similarly experienced (or not) women.

Many of us may have a bike she can borrow for this if you can give us more info on her sizing.

I'll ask my wife. Her rail trail bike could be turned back into a mountain bike with a tire swap. She's in that 5 4 range. You wouldn't happen to have a teenager that could watch my kids and the 4 of us go do you?

+1 on BOW though.

Thanks though!
