http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/32/subjects/1261 <p>Hey guys, I'm looking for a little help.&nbsp; Last fall, I was coming back in from a long ride and was run off the road by a school bus.&nbsp; Pretty nasty fall, but was able to walk my way back home.&nbsp; Considering that I was out riding by myself, things could have been much, much worse.&nbsp; I spent all winter on an indoor trainer, and finally got up the nerve to take my husband out for a short ride yesterday.&nbsp; Any time a vehicle would pass, I would completely freeze up.&nbsp; Any hints or suggestions for getting over this?&nbsp; The local traffic barely tolerates runners, but seems to take pleasure in targeting our rather large biking community!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>M</p> en-us <p>Wow, I've never been hit by a car (knock on wood), but I can imagine how hard it might be to go out after such an accident.</p> <p>I know that I fell a couple of times and that already scares me to go back or when I feel the road is slipery so I can only imagine how scary it must be for you.</p> <p>Unfortunately I don't know what you can do besides trying to get out and trying to feel a little bit better each time and rebuild your confidence step by step.</p> <p>I always try to get to places where there aren't too many cars and were traffic is light.</p> <p>Good luck to you, I really hope you can get over your fears, I'm sure that as time goes by you'll enjoy riding again.</p> IronDave Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:25:08 -0500 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/32/subjects/1261 3290
