Thank you all for the great advice. You girls are awesome . I will contact our local pedal power group and see if they run lessons for adults. I like the idea of learning to "scoot" and taking the pedals off would make a lot of sense.

Thanks Bikingmomof3.... it's so good to hear that you learnt as an adult and took to it well. I'm sure it will give my colleague a lot of encouragement. I'm really excited for her... how much fun is she gunna have when she can ride a bike!
