I am such a freaking clutz
I had to take my car in this morning, somethings wrong with the brakes. Please send good thoughts, I can't afford a ton of money right now. So when I take my car in I generally ride my bike to the lab. It's only about a mile or 2 away so it's not bad. The problem is it's through a very busy area and Hawaii does not believe in bike lanes. As I got closer to the dealership I got more nervous about the ride. Also, if I don't ride my bike regularly I get all nervous about the clipping in and out. Don't ask me why, I'm crazy. So I'm getting more and more nervous. I get to the dealership, get the car signed in, get my bike and gear out and get ready to ride. I get to the street and I'm trying to decide the easiest way to go but my left foot is clipped in. I was thinking about traffic and not my foot, and the next thing I know I'm on the ground. Ugh!! How embarrassing :) Thankfully, the rest of the ride was uneventful.

I absolutely HATE automobile stuff...even remembering when to get emissions testing and change the oil can just ruin a whole day.
If anything goes WRONG then the whole WEEK is shot!
Best of luck! Hope it isn't serious!
You are not a klutz, just a 50 year old infrequent biker. With more practice, you will be fine. I can understand your nervousness in riding in traffic. Recently, I took up biking again to improve my cardiac functioning, and faced some of the same challenges. Keep it up, the health benefits are awesome.
