Your body doesn't forget, but your mind doesWhen I took out my new bike for a test ride a few months ago, I was afraid of it. The seat felt too high (it wasn't) and I was terrified that a car would come down the road I was on and I'd panic and fall off! But I bought the bike and since we don't have a bike carrier that meant I had to ride it home!
I made it home, and kept going out on the paved bike trails by my house, and it really did all come back to me. Now I'm the one calling "passing on your left" and I'm getting used to riding in traffic.
Stick with it and you'll be surprised at how fast you progress.
