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.

From a driver standpoint, it never made sense when bikers went against traffic to me. We have less time to react because we are heading towards each other. You’re better off getting seen as the car is going to go faster than you can react.
