out on a bike you see much easier than when you're sitting in a box on wheels.

when i'm driving i don't even consider "not adhering to Stop signs", when i'm on a bike slowing down is enough to look and consider stopping or continuing

i should also remind that bikes do not weigh a ton and don't kill a million people every year
