I'm not used to driving with so many cyclists around (in my old city, I was often the only one on a bike!). I was thinking about this as I drove into work this morning. I find myself 'nervous' or at least a bit anxious when I'm in the car and there are bikes around. I don't want to hit anyone (of course) and I'm really not experienced with driving around so many bike lanes. As a driver, I think the boxes would really, really help.
Let's hope I feel the same way after I experience them when I'm on my bike! ;)
I do realize, of course, that the obvious solution to my anxiousness is to get my fat butt out of my car seat and back onto my bike. :p All in due time...
