If you ride a non-standard bike, what kinds of things have you learned about cycling in general?
Good point! I ride a recumbent (I have uprights, too, but I can't seem to get used to craning my neck anymore, so they just sit in the garage) and I've learned to take a little more space in the road. I also depend more on a mirror, which I used to think as optional, and now it's a necessity.
