She's not looking fierce enough. And I'm pretty sure that push in the back is a DQ.
Otherwise it looks pretty good. Carry on.

She is going to have to lose the training wheels, get aero, get clipless pedals, a trisuit and raise the saddle. October is getting close!

Where's the bell? I don't see the bell that will warn slowpokes that she is overtaking.
Cute Kid!!

She needs some oakleys.
Other than that, she knows more about color coordination than most grown aadults.

So that's where the Bento Box should go---off the front of the handlebars!

Awesome pic!
At some point however she's going to have to lose the pads; you can't be the Queen of Kona unless you are sportin' some battle scars.
Oh yeah, put a little more fertilizer on that lawn, the bit on your left is getting left behind.

Overall looks pretty good. Her back is not curved like so many newer riders. Interesting choice on the knee pads and elbow pads. Are those going to be used for longer distance races only, or mostly for sprints/bike racing. Putting them on in transition may casuse a problem. The kit looks good, and the helmet not too filled with vents, so it should be pretty aero. The large bento box (basket) on the front is a great choice - it looks like it could hold tons of nutrition. The bars look pretty good, but you may want to throw some clip-ons... Wish her luck!

We got a deal on Spencers old bike, outfit etc and since a 650 bike is small, all I had to do is add the training wheels and basket. A bell has been added also.
This little bike is a tank - probably weighs more than most adult mountain bikes.
We go riding around the block - me on my hybred behind her to push her on the hills and zip ahead and catch her on the down hills. Too much fun.

I agree about the pads - Wifes idea. "WAAAA, what if she falls..."
Notice the tassels from the handlebars.
The grass does need serious help.

You should be ashamed for holding out on this little cutie.
What, It's ok to give her aero training wheels, but then you make her settle for a standard 32 spoke front and rear wheel? And what is it with the knobbly tires?!?!?! You sir, have a sick sense of humor.
This kid needs some slicks. STAT!!!! Aero rims would be a good start too.
Aiyiyiyi.
Oh, and your lawn needs mowing too.

Don't you think it is about time someone cut the grass?

Yes it can, see Francois post on his Brazilian IM basket.

Rule #1 - the outfit, helmet and bike decor must match. Check!

Her kit rocks, but yours needs a makeover.
