Getting Back On

I cycled to work and back today for the first time since my accident. I set off quite early this morning in the hope that the traffic would be light - and it was, but I took things really slowly so by the time I got towards the end of the journey the traffic was building up. I was quite nervous this afternoon before I set off, because there's more traffic in an evening, but again I took it slowly and I was fine - although one Land Rover did decide that the best time to overtake me was when I was riding along a stretch of road with a traffic island between the two lanes, giving him less room to get past; he was so close I almost banged on his passenger side window in protest, but I didn't want to lose my balance. Still, apart from that, home in one piece!
