It’s terrible how dangerous biking around cars can be, I know from personal experience.

I think every cyclist should have an AirZound on their bike

Taxidermia is pretty shocking, but really well directed and I thought quite a good film

They have drivers safety classes you can take in a day or weekend that make a big difference. A lot of them are on closed tracks that help you with extreme situations and quick reactions. I would look into one of those near you to help with skills and confidence.

But, I prefer to bike whenever possible and use public transportation. If that’s an option for you, there’s nothing wrong with it and it’s much better for your health and the environment.
