I have a friend who has never learned to ride a bike and I would like to
teach her to enjoy the truly great sport of cycling.  What I want to know is
if anyone had some pointers on teaching an adult to ride (for that matter,
is it any different than teaching a child)?  I'm planning on using my
mountain bike since I figure it would survive a crash better than a racing
bike.  Does this sound like a dumb idea?
