It sounds like you might be having some self-confidence issues with riding in traffic. This can be overwhelming, but it can be overcome. One idea is to look into books and classes to develop skills and a good attitude about cycling on the street. A local bike shop or bike club might be able to make suggestions. People here on the forum might have some ideas also.
It sounds like you have a good attitude and I predict that you'll do just fine!
I'm 45 for a little while longer. So it's been some time since I was in school. Back then I skipped seeing Nirvana at a local club for $7. Other bad choices include getting a desk job when I graduated...
Yes, my lack of confidence with drivers is probably obvious. It might be something I can adapt to with some help. Thanks for the nice words!
