Do you like to go bike riding . . .

[Blindgreed1]

That's what we were taught when I was a kid.

Me too, so that you could see oncoming traffic. I saw a commercial for bicycle safety a while back that said to NEVER ride against traffic because it's against the law. We have "ghost bikes" all over town here (It's a HUGE bicycle friendly town) where riders have been struck and killed. Almost all of them were hit from behind riding with traffic. Most bicyclists are mowed over by motorists that aren't paying attention, at least riding against traffic you can see it coming and attempt to evade.
