Hey guys, first time posting here, basically I just emigrated from Ireland to Texas, USA. Obviously the roads and life in general are much different. I used to cycle a lot back home and am now getting back into it here. I got my first bike and I've cycled around over the past week, only did about 20 miles and didn't have any major incidents but I was still slightly intimidated by the wide roads and drivers in general. I'm hoping to get to the stage where I can commute to work which is only 12 miles (24 round trip) . I just wondered if anyone can offer advice on how to get past the fear of being on the roads and around cars, I should point out my commute would be on a highway (287) which would be my main concern
