I thought I was a car

I have the opposite problem.
Today when I was driving my car down the highway, there was another car in the oncoming lane which was stopped & had their left turn blinker on. I started slowing down- there was no way I was going to go by that car at high speed that was about to turn in front of me and perhaps didn't see me!!! My husband said What are you doing??!! Go! Then I realized i was not on my bike and it was OK to keep going without braking.
I often find myself slowing down during downhills in my car so i won't "lose control"- only I don't need to do that in my car!

That's a scary situation you described. I like the way you handled it though- walking the rest of the way and then going back to do it "right" later.

Glad that it all worked out OK for you!

I have the same problem as Lisa. The other day my sister & I were in the car (a rarity) and she was driving. As she approached our street she tried to downshift with the windshield wiper control. I was laughing pretty hard at that until I slammed my right hand into the window glass seconds later trying to signal the turn.

We learned our lesson!

It's weird I know, but whenever I get on my bike I feel like I have forgotten to put on my seat belt! Donning the seat belt is so automatic to me that it feels strange not to have one on every time I'm on the road!
