1. This is very traumatic. It's not like falling off a horse and bruising your butt. It's a gruesome death or near death. Be patient.
2. Drive her to school for a few days and see how she reacts going past that spot.
3. Try to get her into happy situations involving bikes (some people recommended taking her on a bike ride yourself) but don't push it.
Personally I would have started pushing the issue after a few days but these two recommended to not push it.
