    Clipless or flats?

    Getting your head into mountain biking

    Yeah all good ideas, just keep it fun for her and never give her a hard time about anything. The more confidence she has riding the more fun she will have and then the more her confidence will grow again. Going out to fun flowing trails is really good, without too much climbing or rough...
