It seems appropriate here.
Ask yourself: How many people are going to show up at your funeral? Lots? Good. Ok. Carry-on. You are safe in community, you are safe in life. Your fears are unfounded. Go ride your bike.
Few? Then change. Anxiety is caused by insecurity. Create the social engagement that brings security, place & purpose. Be bold. Seek these connections, create these connections. Be of service. Serve others. Especially those of different background & lower socio-economic status. Turn off the media streams (social & otherwise) & do service in person & do it daily. You will soon find yourself integrated & secure. Safe.
Safe enough to ride your bike fear free.
