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.

I believe the theory is that bicycles are vehicles and thus have more in common with cars than with pedestrians. I suspect this is a holdover from when cars went twenty miles an hour and bicycles were considered dangers to pedestrians. It’s probably time to re-evaluate that stance.
