I'm new to riding a road bike and I'm still getting over some issues, such as traffic, downhills and stopping with out feeling like I'm going to wobble all over the place. I know that practice make perfect... but wanted some advise.

For whatever reason, I feel more confident on a hybrid...i know that it's not as fast as a road bike, and heavier...but is it a good idea to get comfortable out riding on the road on a hybrid first then transition back to my road bike? Or should I just go out there on my road bike and practice till I feel confortable?
