Selling bicycle commuting

My sister in law just moved within 6 miles of her job. I asked her if she could bike it, and she said she'd be dripping with sweat by the time she got there (in Florida).

She's blowing money on a gym membership trying to shed a few pounds. She's 27 and in pretty good shape. After checking, I've found she has a great potential route to work with bike lanes, slower traffic, scenic, flat, safe, etc. To me, there's no reason NOT to bike in.

The thing I'm beginning to realize is that some people will never seriously consider bike commuting, no matter how feasible I make it sound.

Anybody else try to convince people that doing it isn't as hard as it seems? How do you overcome objections?
