Why are we told to bike with traffic vs against?

953 views

I’ve always biked against traffic so that I can see the cars that are coming my way. I feel safer this way. When the cars are behind me, I feel I am at a higher risk of getting hit.

This post, https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/e8i24j/just_gotta_get_to_work_on_time/ , reminded me to finally get to the bottom of this.

When I was a kid I biked against traffic so I could see them coming and get off the road onto the should. Made perfect sense to me then and now. But that was country (without curbs) and way less congestion.
