Oh my goodness! You sound like me! I was perfectly happy pedaling along at one speed, even though I had 21 to choose from! I finally let Eric show me how to change the gears. Try it. It works wonders on those hills! And good for you trying to get past your fear of traffic. You'll get there!Heather Forceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124279901831950997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242790541588925003.post-9552476337666074482011-06-05T06:45:32.526-07:002011-06-05T06:45:32.526-07:00I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at you not chang...I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at you not changing gears : ) <br /><br />I'm afraid of traffic too, I stick to side roads and country roads.

There's really nothing to do but trust the cars aren't going to hit you. I'm not all that comfortable with that. My friend did say that riding in a group is safer, but I'm just relieved I'm back to running and won't need to worry about it.Leah Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080296620566428888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242790541588925003.post-31864377710716670472011-06-03T23:16:31.994-07:002011-06-03T23:16:31.994-07:00Oh...I forgot to finish...google bike paths in you...Oh...I forgot to finish...google bike paths in your area (Long Beach, right?)

San Diego has a fair number of dedicated bike paths that run parallel to city streets (or in a couple cases a freeway) but there is a barrier between the cars and the bikes. I LOVE a good dedicated bike path. I'm like you, even though I've been riding awhile now, I still really dislike riding in traffic.Aka Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691390225208616675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-242790541588925003.post-55052163768211567092011-06-03T20:07:45.861-07:002011-06-03T20:07:45.861-07:00I was gonna say what Craig said.
