Subject repetition

Do I have to repeat the subject in:

" Mary can ride a horse, but (she???) can't ride a bike.

Do I have to use "she" in the second part of the sentence?

No, but you have to punctuate slightly differently: Mary can ride a horse, but she can't ride a bike. Mary can ride a horse but can't ride a bike. Mary can ride a horse but not a bike.
