Nothing to tell really, I just think it is luck rather than judgement that I haven't had a big accident yet. I think if you think too much and are a nervy rider then you are more likely to have an accident than someone with less skill but who rides in a more bold and confident manner. I guess it is hard to advise as I have no experience of being deaf but I think you couldn't go far wrong doing it the way you are. Start off slow then hit the big shitstorm that is London. Or just choose nicer, more quiet places to ride.
