  1. So I'm very new to biking. It's something I only began to think about recently. Call it a midlife crisis thing. I've had a couple of lessons before attempting my CBT and I've been told that I appear too nervous or anxious and the lesson has been stopped. Sure, I'm always a little nervous doing something new (and potentially dangerous). Aren't most people? But am I really so anxious that I can't ride at all? On another lesson, I have managed to perform circles and figure-eights on a manual so maybe I just have good days and bad days. I mean, I've been driving a car for 20 years and never had a problem like this. Anyway, I need to decide what my next move is going to be and would appreciate some thoughts from you good people: Option 1: find a way to overcome my anxiety, whether by medication or meditation, or just hope that I have a good day and do my CBT on a geared bike Option 2: pass my CBT on an automatic then, once I don't have that to worry about, take extra lessons to ride a geared bike before I go out and buy one Option 3: pass my CBT on an automatic and then stick to automatics. I'll admit that I had only thought of automatics in terms of scooters but, after doing a little research, there are some decent automatic bikes out there and I can see the advantages. Option 4: give up entirely. I really don't want to do this. Thanking you in advance.
