Thanks for the replies!
She is definitely not a gear-head. The bike would be a cruiser just for casual weekend riding on paths in the city with me. She's only had cheaper (Canadian Tire) mtn bikes before but doesn't like the aggressive forward riding style. She basically wants an upright bike with a comfortable saddle, a basket, etc. We have looked at some online together when we were trying find something for $300. Now that I have thought of the (hopefully) brilliant idea of buying one for her as a gift, I have a pretty good idea of what she likes. I also think the difference between $300 and $600 will be awesome and it will hopefully help her enjoy biking that much more.
