I can easily run behind a car turning onto the road. Biking is far different though. You have to be much more cautious as the options are more limited. I have to pay far more attention to cars backing up, doors opening and cars turning onto the road that I am on. It is just more of a distraction, which makes it less relaxing. I am just thankful that I live in an area where I can normally ride or run without the distractions. From now on, I will stick to the trails after work. No harm in that as I was a mtb guy before I was a road guy. I love both.
