Hi all!
I have read through the postings and there have been several questions in the Gear section regarding purchasing mtb bikes for their other half mostly females. I think it's great and I was wondering what you have done to keep them in the sport. It is quite an expensive sport so pushing someone into it would not be very good investment. Most girls/ladies/woman would probably not ever set foot on the shore, and if any the population is relatively small (I cheer for all of ya out there beating me down the trails and hitting stuff I dream of!!). I was thinking of pushing my girl into riding, but I do not want to invest a few G's on a bike and equipment for it to end up sitting in my garage gathering dust. Maybe some of you can give me some advice as to what you done previously that has made your other half continue being in the sport, maybe some of the female riders can put in some input as to how you started and what did you do to overcome the fear of getting hurt. All advice welcome. Thanks!
