You're not the only one. I've flat-out told my boyfriend that there's no way (at this point) that he's going to make me ride on the roads. I haven't been on a bike in years. I'm not really worried about flat tires (I figure you really learn how to change those when you need to): I'm worried about the lunatics who drive around here. I know one person who got hit by a car (she was unhurt, apart from some bruises) and I don't think I can handle riding in traffic just yet.

His response? He laughed.
