Brompton - the best way to learn how to ride a bike.
I don't know why small wheeled bicycle are easier to learn, when the missus got her first one, she rode it like a pro easily, whether on my mum old dutch bike, she had a hard time maintaining balance and the like.
The other thing - build her a bicycle, especially in her favourite colour and look appealing to her, work massively as it got her riding it everyday in utter delight.
And then eventually she get more confident and comfortable and now she have an old english track bike with coaster brake for fun.
