Trail bike. My parents got me one when I was 12, and I hacked around on it until I was 19. That gave me the basic handling/riding skills I need to take the road when I finally got around to getting a license at 29.
My wife's interested in learning to ride; we'll probbaly get a little 100cc trail bike for a few hundred bucks as a beater, haul it to places on a trailer, and let her practise there until she's ready to try the road.
Another option is hiring bikes from riding schools and get formal lessons.
