I too still fear driving. Maybe it's a heightened awareness that causes the fear but since years of driving I have confidence and now fear has become respect for automobiles and driving; which I believe makes me a better driver.

I also remember learning to ride a bicycle as it were yesterday. The bicycle was way too big for me as I had to climb a small wall and hold onto a fence to mount and dismount. I fell some, mostly from testing the limits when turning. I learned to ride mostly in an open school yard so when I got going it was smooth riding without obstacles. The feeling of freedom when riding a bicycle is indescribable for me. I love it.

It was personal determination to learn to drive and ride that over came my fear.

Today at 10:00 am I am going on about a 30 mile bicycle ride and I am just as excited as I was as a kid riding in the school yard.
