At 9 she's probably too small for the bicycle she'll use as she grows into her teens. Huffy makes some bikes that are good for girls and not too expensive.

If she is big enough for a 20" bike, it should last until teenaged easily.

They do make bikes that are supposed to be able to adjust as your kids grow. I don't recall the names. I would suggest heading to a local bike shop, and they'll be able to help her. Plus she'll be able to try different ones out.

Get her a cruiser, they can be pretty inexpensive at 200-400 for a quality one.
Here is a 3spd from electra as an example, this one is a 20" youth, this one is higher end at $380msrp http://www.electrabike.com/bikes/kids/sweet-ride-3i-20?g=girls

You might want to ask President Obama; I understand he's familiar with girl's bikes.

A CBR 1000RR , You don't want to start her on a Hyabusa . You want her to start smaller and work her way up

I am feeling pretty awesome!
I scored a Specialized Hotrock 20" 6-speed for my daughter just yesterday at my Goodwill. The tires were deflated and the bike was muddy as all getout with a busted gearshift cable housing and no handlebar grips. I gave it about an hour of TLC with soap and water, cloth, and a little oil then drove on down to the local bike shop for a new gearshift cable+housing. They couldn't find the different-length handlebar grips this bike needed so they hooked me up with some take-offs from a freshly-upgraded Giant. 
The best part: the bike cost me $6.75 out the door! My kiddo now has a fully functional, very nice bike for less than $20 invested. She loves it and it should last for years. I can't believe someone just gave this away, LOL. Will post pics mañana. |

When my daughter was 9 I got her a bike with 20" wheels. She's 11 now and outgrew that bike, so back in June got her one with 24" wheels. She ought to be able to get a couple years out of this one before moving to an adult-sized bike.

I know nothing about bicycles really. I am getting back into casual neighborhood cycling and want my kiddos to ride with me and the missus. Does such a bike exist that she can sort of grow into as she gets older but still ride comfortably now? She has outgrown her little Disney bike with the training wheels. I want a bicycle that will last her, but I don't want to dump a bunch of coin into a bike that she will outgrow in the next year or so. Advice? Whatever Swignset rides
