Yup. Only took me a very short while to get comfier in the streets. I think part of it had to do with the bike lanes I have to ride on on some stretches. It enforces that the cars are not big mean things out to get you. After that it was just about getting familiar/used to riding amongst cars in "their" lanes too. After that it was just a matter of time before I scooted away from the curb to join them and reduce the chance of a rear end smack with one of those fast buggers.
