Once you start noticing how many people are using their phones while driving it becomes terrifying to be riding on the side of the road. Luckily I mostly stick to trails.
This is why I ride with lights and cameras: I'm not sure why, but the presence of a lens and that blinking record light seems to magically make everyone better drivers.
