Risk assessment- yeah, I like that. That works. Lots of things are risky, but there's often ways to reduce and manage the risk. I'm a scuba diver, which can be risky if you're not careful. So we're careful when we go in the water.
I'm lucky in having found a riding club that doesn't have an awful lot of tolerance for hooliganism. A couple of the members make me a little nervous being too close to them, but a- I've learned who I *like* to be near, and stick near those riders, and b- they're still safe, just not the style I like.
I'm quite happy to be on a bike at my age. I think I'm a bit more settled than I would have been had I got a bike when I initially wanted to. Less impatient, more able to see the bigger picture developing in traffic, more able to stay out of trouble.
