Yes, I was thinking that the other day. I have changed my riding style a lot and minor things can change how motorist react to you. For a minor example last summer when it was real hot my calfs crampled up when I stopped for a while at a stop light. So I pulled over closer to the curb so I would not have to extend so far and just flat foot it on the curb. Suddenly I started getting right hooked all the time, I mean a couple of times a week instead of monthly or less. Soon as I quit doing that I quit getting right hooked. To the drivers I think it looks to them like I aint going anywhere so they can turn in front of me or something. Little things cause big differences in how much you enjoy commuting by bicycle.

I also used to think that every motorist was out to get me, but that was until I bought a couple of video cams and learned that was not so. I learned that I had positioned myself in the roadway to let motorists pass me closely.
