Do drivers make better cyclists? Or to put it another way, does previous driving experience give a cyclist an advantage over someone with no previous driving experience?
When I'm cycling, my ability to comprehend the thinking -- and predict the actions -- of the drivers around me is invaluable to my safety, and that ability comes directly from my experience as an ex-driver. I recognize the more complicated aspects of driving, and of dealing with cyclists, because I have been on the other side. That makes me a better cyclist.
Of course -- and I say this confidently -- I was an excellent driver, and I dare say most skilled cyclists you will find are also skilled drivers. I see plenty of evidence of cyclists transferring their own poor-driving habits to cycling, and this is where the question becomes more difficult to answer. In effect, the answer to the big question becomes: good drivers tend to make good cyclists, and poor drivers tend to make poor cyclists.
Incidentally, the reverse question -- Do cyclists make better drivers? -- is an easy YES. :)

When most people think of "cynic," they're really thinking of a type of "misanthrope." Cynics were Greek philosophers whose ideas shaped much of Stoicism, & sparked ideas leading to, among other things, Christian ethical concepts.

Stretched fence wire today. Last night a bat found its way into the bunkhouse. Tired, am crashing with movies, hope to sleep better tonight.

Okay, NOW I'm starting to understand. Today I watched Dan (the boss) rope, wrestle, and break horses. I jumped in at one point to help hold a filly that was injured in the losing fight against being harnessed, and was terrified by the obvious power of the animal. Good lordy! This is fun!

Didn't do anything more rigorous today than cut taters. Tomorrow we'll be working on breaking some new horses. I'm sure I'll stay well out of the way. The fence work begins Monday.
Pic is of bunkhouse in top of barn. It's unfinished, and I discovered as sun set that the moths inside are hundreds strong. I brought melatonin and tequila, so all should be well soon enough.
