At one point in my life I rode a bicycle 40+ km per day. I see things nobody else seems to and I think that has a lot to do with it. I cannot win the collision.

Much of being a good driver is just awareness.

One time my light turns green, I don't go. As my wife asks what I'm waiting for, a pickup blows the light. We weren't the first car at that light, and years later she still talks about how there's no way I could know. Well, I didn't get us t-boned at 80 so I must have done something right.

Cyclists too.

I do both and I am constantly surprised at the lack of situational awareness of drivers when I’m a passenger in their cars.

I think truckers probably get the same thing too.

I'm definitely a better driver because of bicycling. You gain new skills when you know that you're going to come out the loser in almost every collision.

A seasoned motorcycle rider should be unable to rip out any hair, due to safely wearing a helmet!
