My daughter 3 is now terrified of biking. She got a new bike that she picked out for her birthday and has successfully ridden it a number of times and really had a lot of fun. Unfortunately our house is on a slightly hilly street and she got going to fast one day and crashed onto the grass. She was fine and not hurt at all but she is now absolutely terrified of riding the bike. She will sit on it but to put both feet on the pedals simply isn't going to happen. I took her to the park today where its dead flat and she still wouldn't even try. I reassured her, told her she wouldn't fall, told her I wouldn't let go but there was no convincing her. My wife has also tried but its no use.

She is normally a dare devil and has fun skiing or climbing but it seems that this bike "accident" really has got a hold of her. Any advice??
