Madness is like gravity. All it takes is a little... push.

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.
Probably less potential for emotional scarring if you do it nice and easy that way.
