I've had soooo many close calls riding on the road, so many that I gave away my road bike and now ride 90% on dirt tracks or bike paths.
I have this theory that we are magnets for cars.
Why?
When a car sees us on the side of the road, the driver is naturally cautious and looks at us to be aware that they don't hit us, BUT this means that we become the centre of attention and subconsciously, therefore unintentionally, the driver drifts over towards us.
What do you think?
