    Late-Life intro to bikes? (Fear of bikes...)

    In short, I love my ebike and ride alone all the time. But I have a healthy, reasonably coordinated 64 yr old wife that won't ride. Why? Fear I think. She grew up in NYC, and the only bike experiences she had were negative ones. She won't articulate them much, but I think it involves her...
