Ride my bike to town alone (Explained)

Hey man, Jaws was never my scene. But enough of that, what I really wanna say is how useful it would be to be able to ride my bike to town. It takes about 40 minutes on the bus, along with the fact you have to pay, whereas on a bike, you can zippety doodah with no traffic for free! Only problem is I'm terrified of busy roads, naturally there's going to be a few of them. The reason this is on my list is just so town is less of a big deal, in the sence that I don't have to make a day of it if I want to get one thing from it, as well as building up my confidence on a bike, so a win, win, win.
