Like they say about falling off a horse, you just have get back on and in time the anxiety will go away. I was also hit while street riding about 4 years ago when someone right turned in front of me. I broke both arms and was out for 12 weeks including rehab. When I got back on the bike I stayed to bike paths for awhile as I was very nervous about riding in traffic. I started riding on roads a couple of months after that and after some time I was completely comfortable with it. You do need to be careful riding on the road and that for me means no running red lights or stop signs, watching traffic closely in intersections even when the light is green. Just realize driving to work in your car probably has more risk to it than riding your bike, be carefull and go out and have fun, you only live once.
