More often now I run into people who have never ridden a bicycle.

How could I ask them to understand?

They have no seat of reference...
I think it has mad me a better driver, simply because I am so aware of what goes on in the roadway when I'm cycling, I try and be JUST as aware when I am driving. I make sure I am aware of my blind spots; the location of my right side relative to the shoulder; and how my response to oncoming traffic has impact on cyclists too.
