IMO, it's better to grow into a bike than out of one. However, unless you are willing to take the bumps should something happen, start a bit smaller. When I first got the bike, had an incident, not all my fault, there was a recall on the bike and the bike stalled in a turn. To avoid traffic I headed off the road, hit some soft dirt and laid it down. If I had been a little more experienced with the bike, I might have avoided that.

Not to give you a hard time, but how does one grow out of a bike?
I know you gan grow out of a car, or a house if your family gets to big, but I have always figured that if a bike can safely do the speed limt you can't out grow it. Please explain what "growing out of a bike" means.
