For me, really the only thing to do was to keep riding and let her get used to it as time passed. Now that we both are going through ours 60s, however, she sees another aspect of my riding. I am not on medications, am strong and mobile, have low BP, no chronic disease, etc.etc. while a lot of family members are chained to doctors and drugs. In the long run, my riding produced a lot
less worry for her.
