How much does a Schwinn Breeze weight, is this a cruiser style? Giving newbie riders heavy bikes is not good.
My ideal bike for a newbie rider would be a lightweight road/touring frame set up with flat bars and Shimano 7speed hub gears. You sound like you have the tech skills to build these up.
Try hiring some bikes to start with and take them along a pleasant trail or rural road, and plan a good meal stop. Some people see bikes as the ideal transportation between retaurants and cafes.
