How do you conquer that fear and just ride on the road? What if you get hit or even a run into a parked car?

As another poster commented, riding motorbikes increases your awareness 10 fold but the only observation I can afford to you when you are on the road and that is to assume that no other road user knows that you're there and ride with that in the back of your mind when you see other cars, pedestrians and even parked cars.

Or, get an MTB and head for the hills, your destiny is up to you then!
