I considered this a white zone subject, but then maybe its more in General.
I did a search and found no subjects discussing FEAR.
When I was learning to surf, the fear of drowning was something
I had to conquer, and then the fear of sharks whilst surfing alone.
So when it comes to being out on the road by myself, I find parallels
with having to break through the fear barriers.
So three things I think I've conquered.
1. Falling off due to a back wheel lockup.
(I did this one already, & the fear has stayed for a while).
2. The Front Wheel coming off, and going over the handle-bars.
This has never happened.
3. Getting run over by a Bus. (This has never happened.)
Those things weigh alot, and I have to travel in a Bus lane
to get to work.
I had a close call with a Bus once, and since then have been ultra
wary of them.
So thats my list, whats yours ?
Dare you to put it down and let it go.
Feel the Fear and do it anyway.

...and do you feel better for acknowledging the fear in this post ?
