Same way you teach a child. Hold on and let go once they are moving.

I guess so. befuddlement
But thats really after training wheels. I have a bike with like 2 inch wide tires, she can easily drive that thing. It's not really learning to balance, it's learning to trust the bike.
When I was a kid my training wheels would always fall off while I was riding, and then I'd just go in a circle for like a second and crash. edumacate;
I can't even remember how I learned.
I don't know how to ride a bike or swim. :(
my aunt taught me because my parents gave up on me <3
I never had to learn. I just saw other people do it, so I just got on and did it.
Since she's 18 it won't be very difficult for her to pick it up.
She just has to build confidence in riding a bike and it will come pretty easy
Take her to the top of a hill, have her get on the bike and go down the hill.
offer her sex if she learns. :|
I expected a punch line, thinking that the title of this thread was a joke. :|

Just tell her your have to trust the bike.
Believe in the bike. The bike is an extension of yourself. Feel the bike flow through you.

I try to act like I don't know how to swim, yet flailing in the pool I'm able to swim, so I don't get how you don't figure it out.
