Good article CWJ. It's also a great reminder this time of year - when many people are accustomed to not having any cycles on the road at all.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing.

Totally worth the read!!

I find myself always spending more time looking around at an intersection than most people... and I also drive slower too. I'm not saying I've reached granny status or anything    but... I have noticed people around me are in what seems to me like a super hurry all the time.
