Please share your wisdom with a newbie..

I had the same issues not wanting to turn my head to see if a car was approaching.... last weekend I saw a bar end mirror at the LBS, thought I would like it more than a helmet mounted mirror so I got it...and I love it....
I had to still make an effort to look at it....but it's a quicker glance down then back up to line of travel than turning my head. and it looks kinda cool too: (pic found online for quick reference posted below) (also...I had Lasik last year, so my near sight isn't all that great, so having a mirror a bit further away was better for me since I'm far sided now!!)


I also find myself 'Wanting' to Want to go for a ride...but not riding as often as I want to want TO! (that will only make sense to others that are dealing with the motivation part!) LOL

and like Spokewench said....you just have to get yourself out there...for me, once I'm out there...I don't ever want to be done!! so if you just say...I'm going for a quick ride around the block, it might be easier to get out and do it!!
