Everyone has fear. Some fears are little some are debilitating. We can fear anything really snakes, spiders, small spaces, peanut butter sticking to the roof of our mouth. I admit I have many fears (of different degrees) one such fear is –bicycles.
Yes, I fear bikes. It is not a gripping fear that would make me seat in a corner and rocker or run away screaming at the sight of a bike. It is when I have to ride one that anxiety sets in. I get nervous and the tires/steering starts to wobble. The more the bike wobbles the more nervous creating one vicious cycle of wobbles and fear.
Not really a problem in Canada but bicycling is suppose to be my primary mode of transportation while in Japan. I even have a very stylish orange bike with a bell and a basket, yet I am too afraid to ride it anywhere. So I walk. I will be in very good shape by the time I return to Canada.
Word Up: Watashi wa –I am. As in: watashi wa Kanada-jin desu meaning I am Canadian.
