I assure you bicyclists are VERY Aware of their surroundings when on a busy road with traffic squeezing by at 40 mph.

But its not the BIKE thats the danger, its the motorists not seeing the bikes that is the danger. > I realize the laws allow bikes to be there, just as they allow a horse > drawn carriage to be there, I disagree with that, I think to be able to use > the road you must have a licence and pay a reasonable tax, just my opnion.
