I suggest taking her to a bike shop. They are experienced at fitting people to the right sized bike and recommending which bike and tire work best for the surface she is riding on. And don't forget a bike helmet!

ITA Get measured, it is extremely important. Craigslist can get her started once she knows her proper frame size. Consider buying a women's saddle, it is designed to alleviate pressure on our sensitive parts.

I own a beach cruiser. None of the fancy stuff for me. I hate those brakes & cables on the handlebars.
