Indeed, before I had a car—an I was in the dangerous 15-24 age group—I did all sorts of tricks with my bike (I thought I was good), wheelie, no-handed turns, never waited for the green light etc. Because of the low speed, I speculate, you arrive at the feeling of control easier, you see and know the margins of the vehicle, you don’t have blind spots. Reinforcing intuition: you’re better and better everyday, WYSIATY. After I went to driving school (car and motorbike) I realized the dangers; also knowing some data about deaths and injuries car scare you.
Without data you are provincial, you have no context.
I’m the opposite. When I started driving, I became a safer bicyclist. More concentration and more explicit checking my surroundings.
