The Science Of Being Seen...
ST1100:
Posting this here over missing a "riding techniques" chapter...
Some good reading, whilst they've omitted the "ignorant egocentrics" who will try to run you over on purpose...

I’ve kept alive all these years by assuming that no one has seen me.

Somewhere in the cupboard I have a Performance Bikes from the 90's with a 'Know your enemy' article... Including things like 'farmerus muckus' and a picture of a muddy tractor.. and 'mumus harrasedus' and a picture into a car with a distracted mum shouting at two kiddies. However it's written it all keeps you focused and alert.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Reading the link about SMIDSY gave me a feeling of Deja Vous when I was 18 in 1966 I was a pilloin on my best mates bike when a tractor turned right as we were overtaking it - no signal but it was a risky overtake.
After 3 months in Hospital with a fractured left femur I was terrified that vehicles were going to pull out in front of me from side roads and such like to the point that I slowed down so much that they would! It probably saved my life in a strange way as my anticipation skills must have more than doubled that year.
