Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I always pay attention if I'm turning right and a bike is in the shoulder. I'd wait a few seconds for them to pass so I don't right hook them. When parallel parking, I check for bikes before opening the door.
I also know a lot of the back roads, which usually are the shortest distance to my destination. So if the highway is backed up, I'd know how to bypass it. Conversely, some roads have a lot of traffic, and it takes longer to drive than to bike on them. It's fun to pass miles of slow traffic on a bike (even when going uphill), but not so fun to be stuck in that traffic in a car.
