Seven Sisters, Kudos! Maybe go for a small folder that she could take
inside with her? worked for my wife when she would commute to work, plus it
had the rivish qualities of fenders, a nice brass bell, some pleather grips
and a kickstand. They go from normal folder to micro, depending on the size
that she feels comfortable on. I used a old peugot U folder bike before
they were cool and no one wanted the damned thing, got it like new for 10
bucks, sold it on to some hipster a while later for alot alot more than
that. they are fun and you can bring them everywhere and are a fun
conversation starter to boot!
