I agree with Emily ... give yourself some time to get use to being out on your bike. Before you know it you'll be a confident and competent rider.

I never leave for a ride without my mirror. I've tried a number of different mirrors from the kind that mount on the bike to the ones on the glasses but finally settled on one of the mirrors from Third Eye. I like the ones that are adjustable, attach to your helmet with industrial strength velcro. My husband has the mirror that attaches to the bar end of the handlebars ... I don't like having to look down to check my mirror.

So far, so good. The more I ride, the more comfortable I feel. I did check with Time, the manufacturer of my pedals and you can't adjust the tension on my pedals (Impact).

We went to watch a local Tri this past weekend and it was amazing to watch the riders unclip. They are so fast and have so much balance. I could only dream of having half their skill.

Thanks for all of the support.
