That is the way I try to ride all the time. I am always thinking the what if's. What if this idiot does this or what if that idiot does that. I always try to make sure to make eye contact with people pulling out of side streets and driveways. Watch the tires to see if they are rolling or stopped. Look for heads in cars parked on sides of the road. There will always be the unexpected one or the one you don't see. You just hope and pray you can react in time and that there is somewhere to go.
