  • teaches you to be hyper aware of what's around so you rarely get passed by a driver that you hadn't noticed

    Perhaps this is the problem. I notice them all, all the time, every time, and they make me really depressed and angry :(

  • This so much.

    Does not help by the fact I can take public transport for free.

    I only become aware of how much attention I was required in London after riding in Basque Country, where the government made a massive impact on driver's behaviour when it come to overtaking cyclist, they even have a tv advert demonstrating how to overtake cyclists.

    As a result, for the first time (since ever I think), I start to relax and doesn't need to look back that regularly, no longer I have to squeeze the bar in case the person behind me decided to do a punish pass (which is daily).
