"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Way to go Light... it will get easier I'm sure (not that i've ridden a road bike yet!). You'll be hooning around in no time i'm sure

Congrats on overcoming your fears and getting out there and doing it!! I don't blame you one bit for walking through scary intersections, and playing it safe! I'm so excited for you! Now the next commute will be a little easier and the next one a little easier than that... and next thing you know- you're riding with confidence all alone all the live long day!
So excited for you!!!!

true courage indeed: doing something you want to even though you're scared. Well done!
