    My wife sees me ride and thinks it looks like fun. So she started looking at Costco and target....ARRRGGHHH.....
    I told her that friends don't let friends ride big box store bikes. Or in this case I won't let my wife ride or buy a Walmart bike.
    I pretty sure she won't ride a ton, more for the fun occasional cruise.
    She is 5'1" so what I'm looking for ( she's looking for) is a small or extra small hybrid, mtb bike or..... Something pretty beginner friendly. So....Toss out what you got and I'll check it out!
    Thanks a bunch for any and all options!!

    She can borrow Tami's bike for a trial run. See if she even likes pedaling.

    trying here first. I trust this crowd, and eBay sucks. I've been burned there a few times, pink bike maybe though.

    You calling it an experiment is spot on. In my experience whatever we get probably won't see a lot of use.
    However, my fingers are crossed!

    Mammoth was selling their rental fleet this past weekend and had good deals on the Trek Fuel EX. Tried to get my wife to bite, not interested!

    OK, how do you know? ( although I think the answer is a common experience ) :)

    Might want to see if you can find one of these (Trek Neko S)....I got one for my wife and until she stole my Cannondale Synapse, she loved it.

    Based on the depreciation on the bikes I bought for her that I've ended up selling (Bridgestone MB-6, Gary Fisher HKEK, Cannondale R500, Rivendell Glorius), I would say you're smart not putting too much money into this project.

    My buddy is trying to sell an XS Specialized Pitch. Send me a PM and I will get pictures. The bike has new tires and has been converted to tubeless.
