Ohh boy, I've been riding too much!
So last night I was descending down into town doing 30, and I tried to get more aero by putting my hands closer together and leaning towards the steering wheel. Took me a second to realize it wasn't going to help in my car!

What's really bad, is I have a natural tendency to twist my feet sideways to unclip off the gas pedal when coming to a stop sign.

Now I don't feel like such an idiot for leaning into corners...

Since I drive an automatic I have always braked with my left foot and of course accelerated with my right foot. It makes for awkward driving when I start pedaling the accelerator and the brakes, especially in sprint mode

I always catch myself driving really slow in town, about the speed I would be riding, and when I look in the mirror there is a huge line of people stacked behind me.
