Agreed, more bikers means more visibility means safety in numbers. Also wonder if a lot more of those car drivers picked up a bike lately and it led them to watch out for bikers or be a bit more patient when they’re driving. Just seems like biking is exploding the past few months/year and I get honked at a little bit less.

I think it’s probably a combination of both, but the more bikes are easier to notice. Then again, I linked to something a few weeks back that talked about how a few less cars on the road reduced trafficly dramatically.
Fixed the link, thanks!

Here’s the key though, is it more bikers, or less cars?

P.S. Chart link is fubared…
