Girls Bike Bling
This morning my DH went out to buy a fan and came home with a bike for my daughter. She, of course, was ecstatic. :) It's really cute - her favorite colors: pink and purple. And I started thinking about how much I loved my bike and riding it around the neighborhood with friends. I had a cute and useful basket, a bell, streamers... I decided to search these bike accessories out for my daughter. They actually aren't that easy to find. So, here is the list of girls bike accessories that I know my daughter will love, and I think your special girl will, too.
Have fun and stay safe! :)

Girls Bike
(16-Inch Wheels)
Pacific Twirl Girls' Bike (16-Inch Wheels, Light Blue)
Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)
With its playful graphics and fun color scheme, the Pacific Twirl 16-inch girls' bike is ideal for kids still learning to ride. The bike is equipped with such features as a low stand-over frame for controlled riding, a rear coaster brake for sure stopping, and a BMX-style handlebar and stem combo. The bike's 1.95-inch-thick BMX wheels, meanwhile, provide a smooth ride on a variety of terrain. And riders will love the heavy-duty training wheels, which help them stay safe while learning. Other details include a one-piece crank with a steel chain guard, a handlebar pad and top-bar pads for safety, and steel rims.
Teaching a Kid how to Ride a Bike
"Learning to ride a bike is a classic rite of passage and a skill that, once acquired, is never forgotten. Teach a child to ride and you fling open the doors to a lifetime of fresh-air fun and 2-wheeled adventure.
The method outlined here for teaching a child to ride a bike is the one used by REI Outdoor School instructors. It's not the only approach, and every rider proceeds at her own pace, but we've seen kids use it to learn to ride a bike in a single afternoon.
But there's no rush. The most important consideration when teaching a child to ride? Keep it fun. If your budding cyclist isn't having fun, he or she won't want to continue with biking."

And here is a cool alternative I just learned about:
Girls Bike Handelbar Accessories
Well, now that the sweet girl in your life has a bike, she might like to make it her own with some fun accessories. Most of these were around when I was a kid, and I had them on my bike.
Girls Bike Helmet
Does my child really need one?
The simple answer is yes. Laws now require helmets in many areas. That is because medical research shows that a bicycle helmet can prevent 85% of cyclists' head injuries. More than 700 bicycle riders are killed in the U.S. every year, almost all in collisions with cars, and 75% of them die of head injuries. Many thousands more suffer less severe but still debilitating injuries that are far worse than the physical pain of scraped skin or even broken bones. Your child can suffer permanent personality changes and learning disabilities from a brain injury, and both of you will be aware of what they have lost. Common long-term effects include concentration difficulties, aggressiveness, headaches and balance problems. Imagine a parent's anguish if this happens to their child.
