I've gotten g/f a twenty, which she was scared of. Too wobbly on small wheels, and the thig was too heavy. I got her an old falcon bike and got some nicer wheel from the classifieds here, plus achieved a more upright position by getting new handlebars.
Made her take cycle training and the works.
She does ride it when it's nice. She also did the freewheel/skyride thing with me twice, and I managed to ride the back streets and the thames path with her. But the city? No way!
So it's always me cycling ahead and meeting her, or I take the train and leave the bike at home. And you know what? I think it's better that way, in some aspects. Ask yourself: Do you really wanna give up the only "me" time that you can get without being suspected to cheat on her?
