Interesting study

I and many other fellow bike commuters have known this from years of observation - - didn't did the corroborating study.  Expensive car drivers seem to have very poor vision around bicyclists, for some reason....

@mijostyn  Yes, of course, you are right:  there are those truck drivers.....  Some of them just do seem to be offended that you are even there.  You sure have to be a defensive rider!

Our sales manager loves to point out that "no sees the size of your bank account, but everyone sees your car".  I do think an awful lot of that goes into people buying cars.

Now, the criticism that audio nuts buy expensive gear to impress others has also struck me as highly questionable.  Very, very few people get down to my basement bastion to see or hear my stereo, because they just don't really care about it.  What I buy is truly for me.  Always has been since I first started earning dough with a paper route - - the money I can spare has gone into the best stereo I can enjoy.  Sadly, only a few friends really want to sit and listen to music as a focused experience.
