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.

As a bicyclist, you are to observe all the rules of the road, therefore you have to travel in the same direction. In rural areas, this doesnt seem very important. But in crowded cities, it would be a hellish disaster if bikes didn’t follow the same rules as cars. Theres a standard because there has to be, for the safe flow of traffic.
