Progress

[darkemeralds]

The amount of time I spent walking Clyde on my way home tonight was about half of what it was on Monday. I (deliberately) did three things that seemed too scary on Monday:

Rode on a downtown street in the traffic lane
Moved from the bike lane out into traffic on a busy neighborhood thoroughfare
TURNED LEFT from traffic!

Woo hoo!

And I gave up some of my embarrassment and just geared all the way down and labored my way up some inclines at the old-lady pace. But I did it, dammit.

Time getting home: about 45 minutes.

Took me a while to realize that your 'turned left' is our 'turned right'. Whoah! Go you.

You know, I almost pointed that out, since half of my flist is in the UK or Australia. Yes, left turn in (moderate) traffic. It's not the traffic that scares me so much as the fact that I'm slow and very annoying to others. But that, too, is subject to change.
