Look down the road ahead of you - not right in front of your wheel.

Do you have a fog line painted on your roads? The white line at the right side of the road? You can use that or the lines of a bike lane as a "balance beam" to practice riding straight.

Relax, bend your elbows (so that road bumps are absorbed and don't bump you off your line). Breathe. Smile.
