It's a chicken and egg situation. Recently experiencing all of this first hand while my girlfriend has been learning to mountain bike I can tell you that the bike goes a long way. The fear of going over the bars is obviously strong when you're learning and anything that can help you ride safer is only going to help your confidence and your ability to progress faster.
