"You can't ignore me forever. I'll be here when you return," the bike chuckled.

That's one scary bike! 😄 Jayson's phobia gave it a voice. I didn't even know cyclophobia is a real thing.

Your piece is vivid, something many of us can relate to. Sometimes we think we have moved past a trauma and one incident brings it all back. I sympathise with Jayson. The accident and therapy bike triggered his cyclophobia. He can run but can't hide. His job depends on his recovery. Nicely done! Take care and have a relaxing day. 🌹
