I'm a bit biased (work in the game industry), but video gaming, particularly racing games and other games where you need to steer/move a character and avoid certain objects, have helped me -- I haven't run into many objects or other things I see on the ground. Instead, I think "if I keep my focus I get 100 points!".

Knock on wood for the future of course.

The main reason why I wanted to respond to this old thread is because, based on the subject/title, I thought this would be about how obsessed one can get about bikes. Cuz that, that I understand.
