Now my wife is thinking she needs riding lessons because she's so concerned about losing her balance. She's 66 and hasn't ridden since she was 16. I told her I thought the best thing to do is to just buy a bike and for the two of us to go to a nearby field where she could practice riding until she felt comfortable. I'm looking at the Giant Sedona W as a bike that would ease her back into riding. She's not crazy about its looks (she prefers the Trek 7100 WSD) but I think the Trek would be too much bike for her at this time.
