Maybe take her to chat with some bent riders? I think they are safer, because you tend to hit things legs first instead of face first, and you don't fall from as high. The low racers are a little spooky because you are so low relative to cars, but the more upright sort of bent puts you higher than the average car driver. Not my first choice for weaving through dense car traffic, but that is not a very safe activity anyway.
