Today was my first ride post-accident. It was nice to be on the bike, but my timidness was awful. I think b/c the driver had his blinker ON when he hit me, it's harder. Every intersection was nerve wracking. How do you get past this? I felt like I was a dangerous rider, and certainly had no business riding with a group with my abrupt stops, etc. Fortunately, today was just me and bike. I was a fairly strong rider, and I was so nervous today! I'll try again tomorow.On the positive, I don't appear to have lost any fitness, so that made me feel great.
Be yourself, to the extreme!
