Reality *
My daughter is nine and somehow very tall -- 5' -- and a couple of injuries kept her from learning to ride a bike sooner. How do I teach her to ride one now, as I don't think there are training wheels for someone her size.
Answer
Our daughter was ten when we adopted her from overseas. She'd never ridden a bike before. We bought a bike that fit her size, then got training wheels at a bicycle shop. They do make them large enough for older children, but you can't get them at Walmart or anything like that. A regular bike store should carry them.
Good luck!

I am short, like 5 foot. I want to use it for low to moderate exercise. Something Comfortable and durable. Maybe dark gray or dark blue. I live in St. Louis, so maybe from Dicks Sporting Goods or Walmart? I have not had a bicycle since I was a kid and am excited to own one again! Any suggestions are appreciated!
