Jenn, From a girl's point of view, I just want to say don't give up. It sounds like you were re-introduced to riding in a pretty inconsiderate manner.

I am a girl, and rather than counting on some guy to ride me around, I decided to get my own bike. I took the MSF class and off I went. It took me a year to get the courage to get my own bike, and I stared at it through my window for a while before even riding it! But you'll find that if you are in control, you will once again enjoy riding. Now I even race. I'm pretty dang slow, but I enjoy the heck out of myself.

Keep your chin up and get your girl buns on a bike! We need more of us girls out there riding.

Great advice. The most important thing is to get back on and don't give up!
