I remember when i got my first road bike too. My husband was all excited for me - and the emotion I felt was horror. What, is he kidding? THIS is supposed to be fun?
i was very fearful and even fell down a couple of times - this was before I went clipless, so that wasn't the problem.

It takes a while to get used to a new bike. NOW, when i get on a different bike, I have the same problem, but MY bike, I'm used to it.
take your time. You'll be fine.
