National Bike Month

I was just reading that the month of May is "National Bike Month". Biking has always been a part of my life. I liked it so much that I even took an elective in college (during my undergrad days) called Biking. Our final exam was biking 18 miles. It was great fun. Now my husband and I enjoy biking on our hybrid bikes (simliar to a mountain bike) and our teen is enjoying her mountain bike. BUT....help! Our 8 year old is hesitant to get going on her 2 wheeler. We have tried everything. She gets the whole concept but putting it all together isn't working for her. Any tips out there from parents who have had to teach a child how to ride a bike?
We plan on doing more biking as a family, once she gets confident....so....around our house the month of July might have to be national bike month!
If you have any tips, please share them!
