I'm 53 years old and have just learned to ride a bike two years ago. Try as I might I still feel nervous on a bike. I'm fine when the cycle path is absolutely clear, but add other bikers, walkers, dogs and children and I'm a wreck. My husband keeps telling me I will get less nervous the more I bike, but my nerves make biking a painful experience so I tend to give up after a few attempts in the spring. I've said I think an adult trike might be a better choice for me, he says I wouldn't use the trike because I'd be embarrassed to be seen riding one. I don't think I would, but I'd love to hear the opinion of others. Thanks Gabriella
