I tried to get my wife to ride first year of marraige. I took her on the tourist route from SF to Sausalito and took the ferry back. When we got off the ferry in SF we had maybe 2 miles to get back to the starting point. After 50 yards she started crying. Outside of riding with the kids a few miles on trails when they were little, she hasn't been on a bike since.

Up till then just about every girlfriend I'd had past high school either rode, or I got them into riding. None of them lasted.

It's ok for biking to be "my thing".
