Paranoia...it strikes deep.

And I am supposing when she reaches 15, voila'

prepared for life?

I think a few skinned knees, a significant wreck on a bike, likely into a parked car, and a close
one with a moving vehicle will prepare her more for life than keeping her in the yard untill age 15.

Of course, I could be wrong. But I don't think so.

Your comments are not welcome and are based on incorrect assumptions you made because you lack
reading comprehension skills. You really shouldn't post to a group unless you can stay on topic.

Actually, although I might have worded it a bit differently, I agree with what he was saying. By the
way, have you asked what she would rather ride? If she says she wants a lightweight racing bike with
Campy hubs and Ergo levers, etc - then maybe you are on track. If she says she wants something fun
to ride - and in pink, then congratulations, she is a normal kid
