I always have bike problem dreams the night before big rides (e.g. the MS150). Usually some variation of I've forgotten how to ride a bike, or it's too big and I can't reach the pedals or something else concerning.
I just chalk it up to nerves

oh yeah, I have bike dreams too! Usually they're the a-bit-too-much-to handle-at-the-moment type dreams, which translate into being in the wrong gear, having poor brakes, pedalling and having nothing happen, that sort of thing. Nothing terrible, just that I'm trying to do something and basically going nowhere...

I dreamt my new bike was suddenly made of wood - and then that it was wobbling in the middle so I had to balance the back part separately from the front.
such a bike actually exists - or existed in the possession of a teacher at my school. had two hinges each in the tubes. Scary ride.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
This is my first bicycle nightmare. I tend to have thematic anxiety dreams though, so this might be the next one in the series.
For example, for several years, my anxiety dream was that I was pregnant. For a couple months in 2001 I had terrorist dreams. While we were selling our house/graduating/moving, it was about mowing or long grass. The last few months, it's been about my favorite uncle who died 4 years ago.
If I could choose I think I'd take the bicycle nightmares.
