Hi FreshNewbie,

Your SO sounds like a sweetie. He's obviously crazy in lerve, as he's so nervous about you getting hurt.

Is he risk averse? It seems that you're more confident about your ability then he is. I'd do what the other ladies suggest, more practice on clipping and unclipping, finding time to ride when there's less traffic. Maybe a weekend biking trip outside the city?

I'd just try and reassure SO that you're fine and in control. And DON'T give up something that you love to do!!!
