Based on what I have seen a lot of guys on bikes do - they seem to think that if they ride faster than everyone else, they are safer. Meaning, they trust their own abilities to dodge / weave over others ability to avoid them. Considering some of the stuff I've seen 4 wheel cage drivers do to us on two wheels, I don't entirely disagree with that point of view. I feel that I am a safer operator of a vehicle when I am on two wheels - I pay more attention - I tend to be a lot more cautious - and I have a better idea of what my bike is doing. Some people (I daresay most of us on here) use this hightened awareness to be even safer - others it seems simply use this hightened awareness to ride faster / harder and dumber. Just a couple thoughts. -Joey (Definately jealous of those south of I-10 - it was 40 degrees up here this morning!)
