I am curious, are there other bikers out there thinking about not riding anymore because of all the other drivers?



I love riding but am getting very nervous about it. I find myself thinking about it a lot weather to ride or not to ride.



How many others are going through this delema? I was thinking about buy a newer bike but are getting second thoughts.



When I ride, I seem to be fine but when I sit in my chair thinking about, I get nervous.



I have a family, I am getting old. I have been in a termoil of thought weather to continue or not.

To answer a previous question, I am 52 years old.



I am amazed at the responses here and want to thank all very much! A lot of good food for thought.

I don't have any doughts about my riding skills, just doughts about other drivers. When I am riding, I enjoy the ride. In fact when I am driving in a car, I imagine what it would be like right that second out there beingon a bike.



This morning my wife and I were driving in a car in a parking lot. A lady pulled right out in front of us, we were 10 ft away! We stopped in time to prevent a fender bender. My wife didn't blow the horn. We are not horn blowers per say. I told her this morning, we need to turn in to horn blowers, we have to wake people up! The person that pulled out in front of us didn't even see us as we stopped. The other person just kept driving. She never knew she pulled out in front of us.



If I were on my bike and that happened, I would be all over that horn!
