More aware that you aren't entitled, and you aren't at the top of the food chain.

I've been hit by a biker before. While I was parked in the Fred Meyer lot off Terwilliger. I got out of the car to ask if he was alright and he blamed it on ME.

In my experience most drivers I encounter while riding are very courteous. Many of the other cyclists I encounter seem to be idiots. I go out of my way to obey all the traffic laws. Why is it that the few belligerent drivers out there always pick me to run off the road? This is how I looked after someone clipped me and I went into the ditch.

Sensible cyclists have to deal with
a) Idiot drivers,
b) Blind drivers,
3) Idiot cyclists that antagonise drivers.

Odds are against you......., be careful out there.

I wish! Too old, slow and fat for that. My "bunny hop" these days would only clear a very short hurdle.
