So you've crashed....

I bought a bike this summer and I have to admit I was tense on the thing all summer. I've never wrecked but my first husband was killed on a bike, and I think I have a real fear of something happening to me. Funny thing is I am not scared of my new husband riding..wierd huh?

Any ideas to get over it?

Sorry for your previous loss, it appears that you are in fact on the right path, after such a tragic event, being able to get back on a bike is a MAJOR feat, just easing back into things, short rides to begin with, in less populated areas. Being alert is an understatement, but being afraid can be potentially hazardous for you
