I'm no longer scared of the bike. (As I was yesterday).
I'm scared of the extra pain I will have in my leg if I fall again..
It's strange though, because in the last few months of riding, falling never occurred to me, so why should it now?
At the end of the day, it's just a scrape. It's not like I got hit by a car and thrown into a barbed wire fence or anything...

Although Hoogerland got back on and kept riding. Immediately. For the rest of the Tour de France.
My husband thinks it would almost have been better to have clip stacked on the road, as I would have been forced to get back on the bike and get over it to ride home.
And it would have been ok.
Anyway, I aim to do a small ride today on this Public Holiday (despite Mondays being my rest day).
I think it will be good to do a practice ride on a public holiday (so traffic will hopefully be more similar to a weekend than a weekday), so I can get back into my weekly routine as otherwise, my next planned road ride would be Wednesday early morning before work.

Ah, so true.
