Trainer and mountain bike combo works for me.
When i wasn't riding solo the fear wasn't so bad, but now i find it hard to get out on major roads. When i take my road bike out i just go the backstreets and onto a cycleway, the highway has too much crud on the shoulder plus it's a 110kph zone.
I watch the go-pro vids of people who ride in urban areas and i think why bother ? it seems so dangerous as the roads in Australia weren't designed with cyclists in mind.
