That was my first thread topic! I almost crashed going down a hill, and was really freaked by it. I just reread the thread, and the advice that really helped, other than using both brakes, was Geones' butt back in the saddle comment. There's lots of great downhill advice in that one!

If you feel like you're going to topple over, I'm wondering if you're weight is correctly distributed? Are you comfortable on your bike other than going downhill? Do you have wrist numbness or neck pain? I'm thinking it may not be a phobia--maybe it's a bike fit issue.
