It’s a classic case of "where you stand depends on where you sit." Changing your role in life often brings a sudden, eyeopening wave of empathy.

I actually see that phrase online recently, and it really hits home with something I’ve been going through. Honestly, please don’t judge me, but I used to be that person who couldn't stand delivery bikes or scooters on the road. I thought they were reckless, messy, and basically just "moving roadblocks" getting in my way.

But now that I’ve started cycling myself, everything looks different. Driving feels intimidating from a bike seat. I’m constantly worried about cars clipping me, drivers turning right without checking their blind spots, or someone suddenly blasting their horn and making me jump.

I finally get that it’s not easy for anyone out there, whether you’re behind the wheel or on a bike. The world really become a better place when we have a little more understanding. Now, when I’m driving, I’m happy to wait for a cyclist to pass first. And when I’m on my bike, I try my best to follow the rules and stay out of the way. This kind of mutual respect works way better than any traffic law ever could. Don’t you think?

also, I’m sorry for such a long post, and please bear with me if my English feel a bit rough. I know it’s quite a lot to get through, so I really appreciate you taking the time to read it!
