He sounds self aware enough to have engaged in this conversation with you bagheera. and he has arranged cycle training so he is addressing the issue of his percieved problem of confidence. i think that road confidnce does fluctuate and is affected by many factors such as stress, depression, fatigue and negative on road experience.
Once a person understands intellectually how traffic streams and how to move in (and out) of them, once a persons riding skills are practiced and instinctive and they understand how and when to communicate from a bike, moments of insecurity and lack of confidence will affect riding less.
