I have been without a car for 5 years, been commuting via bike for 3 years... and I finally convinced my wife to get a bike. She got a little hybrid 2 weeks ago. This a.m. she emails me with this bike marathon.

She still hasn't mastered starting from a complete stop- something that scares me in traffic (we mostly just ride on the ocean path)-= she's slow and wobbles (we will get her adjusted this weekend- she's top heavy I think). She's not slow, but not fast, either. Has anyone done this thing and thought it wasn't for a newbie? She's my wife and I don't want her to get hurt... Frankly I have never done one either, but I wouldn't think twice about entering. thanks.
