Thanks. Yes, it's hard to not be paranoid after a traumatic accident. Every passing car could be like that one car that hit the bike that one time. I'm starting to understand why some road cyclists get bitter toward cars. It's easy to hate the things you fear.

And yet...I don't want to turn into that guy either. Somewhere in the middle has to be a happy, healthy medium.

Ride on...without getting angry or living in fear or being stupid. Find the balance.

Easier said than done.

It does help that a few miles of my commute is on quiet backroads. Peaceful roads give me time to think. Therapy time.
