So not shore why I'm wrighting this but kind of alone on my biker journey so maybe you all can give me of advice or just be my cheerleaders 😆

Most people I know do not like the idear of me on a bike.

So I'm 42 and finely am learning the bike I had my 1st lesson that did not go as I thought and been suggested I may have to try a scooter 😅 just to get my confidence up, I should add I can't drive anything , I never even sat on a motorbike before my 1st lesson so was all 100% new for me and I'm a huge over thinker , so my 2nd lesson is next month hopefully it goes as planed and I can do my cbt on a bike if not I'm being told to do my cbt on a scooters then just get a bike so I can lean in my time , I feel so bad wrighting this as feel like im failing allready 😆, so maybe you can give me tips or at least tell me of people who went that route 😆,

Take your instructors advice and complete your CBT on a twist & go, then spend a few months on the road getting comfortable with the throttle, brakes and being on the road.
Once that's all good, it should just be a gear change lesson. All going well It will be a case of selling the scooter and buying a geared bike.

If you try to push yourself to much and don't get it, you could end up giving up and losing out on a good lifestyle.
