As the economy continues to suffer, we all see more and more people out there walking and biking the roads. I see about twice as many bikes being used in my rural town this year up from last year....and many of them are people carrying things and doing errands, as opposed to previously my mostly seeing only 'roadies' in their TDF training outfits.
The more bicycles out there on the roads, the more car drivers start becoming aware of them. Sadly, the roads have been designed completely in favor of cars for many decades now, as though other vehicles don't even exist, and it will take a while for better designed roads and more aware drivers to take effect. Until then- ride very defensively, and assume the drivers do not see you.
