Ultimately I guess it is about gaining confidence and just going for it, and maybe not riding alone..
I tried going the other day, but when a lifted truck blew past me in like a couple seconds at a close pass I got on the side walk and turned right around haha.
That is the way I felt. When I got back into riding(2003). After a six-year layoff. Now, I record close passes on my GoPro Hero4.
