Do you guys have bikes? Maybe you could suggest as a family you all go and seeing you guys riding would help.
I find in my own experience that the more I want them to do something the less that they want it. In our house it is a who's the boss situation I think...LOL. If I typically ignore it and let it go she will come around on her own time. Maybe just seeing more of her friends riding and you riding would be enough. If she is just really scared there may be nothing to do besides to calm the fears she has about being on the bike? Has she said why...like falling off the bike etc?
One more idea...who picked out this bike? If you don't mind spending the money, maybe let her get involved in the selection of the bike. It might make her more excited.
