It's a parents job to be concerned for the safety of their children no matter how old or independent they are. She's doing that, it's instinctual.

It is also a parents job to be respectful, accepting, and ultimately supportive of the choices that their adult children make regarding their lives even if that is not the choice they would make for themselves. She's not doing that, and that's a behavioral choice.

Unless she has physically disabled your bike somehow get your ass on it and keep riding it until she does accept you for who you are and what you want to do. Is she going to kick you out of the family for bike riding? Please....
