I've been on this forum for quite a while, but as a tandem rider. Two years ago I had a serious crash on my single bike just after getting it-- a Bianchi Boardwalk-- and I've been afraid to ride.

I just took a how to ride class at REI and that helped a lot. But I want to gain more skills and confidence. I have ridden the Bianchi around the neighborhood with my husband since taking the class, but haven't conquered any hills-- up or down yet, and frankly, I'm kind of scared.

Any suggestions or hints to get me more comfortable?

thanks
Carol
