One of the first things my teacher had me do when i was being taught was emergency braking and something like avoiding obstacles. I disliked every second of it (made me really nervous), but it was the most helpful thing that could have been done. Now when tards turn left and almost hit me (like today) I know what I and my bike are capable of. Anyway, kudos for getting your wife into it. Tell her good luck *side note... I mispelled 'obsticles' and right clicked on it and suggested testicles and I giggled.
