[Has she ever ridden on a bike as a passenger? It'd kind of suck if she fell off.]
Don't fall off.
[Best instructions. If he wasn't so excited and impatient about trying it out he'd ask if she had. Still, just in case, he starts off slowly (for him) and that phrase about it being easy to ride a bike again is very true. And if she does slip he'll tug her to him and he probably should do that anyway, but there's the nagging worry that it'll lead to another embarrassing case where he has to work to let go. So all he does is start off, make sure she's not going anywhere, but after he thinks it's good he starts working up to a decent clip despite the fact that he'll have to slow down for the lift.]
