Thanks for the pointers. As of now I've got a pretty smooth ride I'm just having trouble with drifting around in my lane, which is why car's scare me so much, I feel like I might drift at the wrong moment and get hit or fall off onto the shoulder. I'm pretty sure it's more of a confidence issue than anything else.
I don't remember being afraid of falling off the bike when I was younger. I know that this bike is much taller than that one so maybe I just feel like I have farther to fall. I get a little nervous and then my brain starts in on the worst case scenarios. Part of me just wants to wipe out on purpose just so I can get the anticipation thing over with, but I'd like to be padded up like a linebacker first and preferably not on pavement.
