Don't be afraid. Just correct the problems as soon as you encounter them. Fortunately, you arrived home safely.
From now on, you must do more checks. Safety comes first. No matter what, prioritize your own safety and within the scope of your control.
If possible, give it a try. At least you have experienced it. After a long time, I feel that today's cycling was still a bit tiring. Finish those to-do lists earlier and get some rest sooner.
