@ matt_ha : looks like she's decided that she likes bikes personally, rather than just as a couple-y activity; best possible outcome!
well done for maintaining self-restraint :)
Most of these posts do refer to men getting women into riding. I don't know what the average woman's experience is but I do remember most girls of my age learning to ride a bike the same way as the boys. So it might not be about learning from scratch!
I don't know if the type of bike, or bike riding experience from that age can affect what she feels comfortable doing now... I started on bmx, so getting on a hybrid or dutch bike in adult life would seem as alien to me as perhaps a diamond frame or racer does to others.
