The other day, I was driving. As I sat at a light, I was looking at my right hand mirror, watching bikes pass me on my right. A recumbent went by, which I totally failed to see in the mirror, and didn't notice until he rode past my window.
Think about that. I was looking for bikes, and I didn't see him. He had a flag.
When the light changed, and I passed the line of bikes in the next block, the guy was pretty hard to see. he's lower than other cyclists, and just a totally unexpected thing.
