Afraid of stopping and down hills

[dlolide]

Thank you everyone for your advice.
I practiced a lot this weekend and I did it. I'm still working on hills, but I got the rest down. I even rode on the road with traffic, a little scary but I had to do it. I did as you all said and I overcame my fears. Thank you all again!

That's great! Congrats! Keep on riding! The more you practice the easier it gets. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I went to our local high school (60 acres) after work today to practice stopping & starting with one foot still clipped in. Plenty of STOP signs available with little to no traffic. Did pretty well, my balance was stable and I didn't topple over once. Must get on the road this weekend and go for a long ride. I've done 25 miles at our local paved rail trail, but time to hit the road for some real road riding. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
