My gfs bike will be finished on the weekend(pending delivery of final parts) and it's the first step in many to make cycling more enjoyable and useful for her.
The biggest thing to tackle is the fear and while I can cycle with her and get her out of the kerb it's more trusting in me than taking on the problem, I'm sure when left alone she would return to her default position in the kerb.
I know a certain amount will come from just spending more time on 2 wheels but beyond that what is there?
Someone will say cycle training I'm sure so I could ask a old friend to ride with her but they have always said my line was good/safe so apart from knowing the official lingo it might not add much.
