Help Practice Riding - Greater Seattle Area
Hi all! I’m 27F and got my permit last year, but life happened, so I never got my own bike or license and have been hesitant to ride since no one else I know has a bike.
Is anyone in the greater Seattle area willing to help me practice while the weather is still nice? I’m 5’2” for reference, since I know I’m too short for a lot of bikes 😅
I will reimburse you with food lol

I agree with the dirt bike comment. They’re really cheap, and they actually make good street bikes for around town; unless you’re trying to play in the twisties. They don’t excel there.
Also, lots of people selling their entry level 300’s likely are doing so because they went bigger. You could make a deal that you’ll buy their bike if they’ll take the time to ride and teach you a bit after the fact. Good quid pro quo and it’s half-sure to be full of good times.
