@Verbs_&_Nouns Oh man, that sucks. Glad to hear you're okay. I understand your hesitation, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I found that my riding style and risk assessment did change very drastically once the little one was on the bike with me. All those bike ways dotted around Adelaide suddenly became a lot more important, and I found myself being ultra patient and instinctively over-compensating for the lessened handling and stopping ability.
