Is that a normal idea to try riding the spinning bike?
In order to do it at home.
I'm looking for ways I could do my riding skills better without riding outside...
That may be a little weird, but I have such fears since my childhood. But I'm really interested in bikes and want to try

What city or place are you in? People may have some good suggestions for non-threatening places to ride. I know that's not your original question, but sometimes we find out things we don't anticipate when we start a thread.

Spinning bike skills have little or nothing to do with outside biking, so spin if that's an activity that appeals to you, but not as some sort of bicycle simulator that will teach you how to control a bike in real world conditions. Like someone said above, there's no shame if you decide outdoor bicycling is not for you and spinning is--this is something you're doing for yourself, and it has to fit for you.
