That's great! Good for both of you.
I must say, I'm jealous. I've been trying to get my wife on a bike for years with zero luck.

Wife rode to work-1rst time ever!
Hello everyone, As many know, I have been riding to work since last August after being off the bike for 10 years.I have gotten so used to it that I really miss it when I have to drive in.
Anyway, my wife has been bugging me about riding in on her bike by herself. So, last week once all (most) of the snow was off the MUT we rode her route together, to and from, work on 2 different days. She was talking about not riding in today because of the rain this weekend and cold temps.
Well guess what? She did it anyway!!! 40 degree's and super windy. She walked with her bike and backpack to get the kid on the school bus and just started riding. Once her shift was over, she got a little lost on the way home, but made it in time to be back at the school bus stop on time. Almost 10 miles round trip. Not far, but for someone who has never ridden, it is far enough.
I know I didn't pedal her bike or even talk her into it, but today I am VERY proud.
There is just something about the freedom of two wheels and sharing that freedom with someone you care about that makes it special. I just had to brag a little. Sorry no pics-maybe later this week.
Thanks
