Hi, so when I was younger I had a bike. One day after riding it I was taking it to the back of the house to store. Unfortunately the back of the house is on a slope going down and I was stick on my bike using my feet on the ground as brakes. All of a sudden the I lost control of the speed and the bike sped off down the slope with me. I ended up crashing in a tree. I don't think I have had the courage to go back on a bike since because I am so afraid of falling.
Oh dear, I have fallen thousands of times from a bike in my life. Ended up with scratched knees, elbows,a lot of holes filled with small rocks in my legs, terrible. But, I always got up and tried again and again. I guess that is why one has to do. You know how the saying goes, “And falling's just another way to fly.”―

That means, if you do not fall down sometime in your life, you will never realise, first, that life needs to have some balance, that not everything is just straight in life, and second, that you have not died and disappeared if you fell down, you can always get back on your feet, because there is a huge chance that you get wings (metaphorically speaking), that is become even more successful at doing something.
Two years ago, almost, I fell on ice and broke my leg in half, completely got separated..I was immobile for 2 years, but I am back on my feet now. I could say now, oh no I will never leave my house when the winter comes along, and just stay in my safe comfort zone. But, I can't do that. Life is too precious and there are so many things I still want to try out, just like you do in your case, to get back on that bike and enjoy the wind in your hair, again.
Just go for it my friend, you will be just fine. And if you fall again -- well, you can always stand up, right?
Peace
