SUZEQFL- Thank you for sharing your harrowing experience with us. I would agree- talk with Denise. She has overcome her fears and now rides all over the place!

I also agree with the others- we take many risks in our lives. BUT, the joy of cycling for me overpowers the risks I take by going out.

Is there something you want to say to the rider(s) in front of you that hasn't been said? Sometimes discovering what you haven't said in the open and saying it now will help you heal both mentally and physically. It's just another way to look at the incident and be sure that you are at rest with yourself and the others. Freeing oneself from past incidents is a very powerful process and will give you much strength as you go forward with the healing process. My thoughts are with you and I wish you the very best during this time of recuperation. I do hope you will be cycling with us in the future and that you can return to a sport you love so much.
