If there’s no dedicated bike lane it means we get to share the road… right?

Yeah…the negligence I see is noise canceling headphones and that’s about it. Cyclists should be aware of their surroundings and sometimes that includes being aware there is a vehicle behind you that is bottlenecked in traffic.

But cyclists aren’t beholden to car speeds and sometimes riding in the middle of the lane is a matter of safety.

It can be dangerous to skirt the outer lane because it’s often outside of clear view of the drivers who are behind 2 ton vehicles moving at ~double the rate of speed.

My tinnitus forces me to bike with noise canceling headphones. I mean sure, I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. But listening to sounds provides a false sense of security. I’m extremely aware of my surroundings since I started using my AirPods. Never do I stop looking around me. This has without a doubt made me a much safer person in traffic.

So even that might not be all to dumb. Though if one is to use headphones, it’s no casual stroll, it’s a constant game of looking out.
