Great to hear that your confidence is growing! No matter how big or small the increase, it can help make you a safer rider
There's nothing wrong with taking slow, you're riding your own ride and not letting anyone else dictate to you how you should do it which is a huge plus in my book. Keep up the good work and any remaining severe fears should soon vanish
just keep your eyes up and moving! We all know the risks (or at least I'd like to hope so, some people I question lol...) of our two wheeled hobbies!
