[QUOTE="lonerider, post: 1158751, member: 17455"] My parents tried that with me (father was a Dr., mother was a nurse, both hated bikes), only made riding more attractive to me. Like so many others, I was immortal at that age. Why does he want to learn to ride? If it's for the freedom and exhilaration we all enjoy and he's made to realize he's at risk every time he throws a leg over a bike, he might be amenable to wearing the proper gear and developing the proper habits. If he just wants to fit in with the poser crowd, proper gear might be a more difficult sell. You'll learn a lot by talking with him. If he realizes how deeply the rest of his family would be hurt if he's seriously injured (or worse), that should help start him off on the right path. Good luck, you're in a unique position to make a big difference. [/QUOTE]
