I was riding around an area today with really shitty visibility. Houses close to the street blocking view of the cross roads. Lots of pickups / SUVs parked on the street further blocking the view. There were plenty of times the road looked clear of cross traffic but I could hear tire noise so I knew it wasn't. Makes me appreciate how much listening can contribute to not dying.
So much starting and stopping today. I was riding up and down every road / alley in the area but had already covered the main roads the other day. Due to the visibility I had to come to a near stop every time I encountered another road. Probably 250+ stops in a 68 km ride.
