In the couple of months that I've been biking, I've found that the biggest difference is that bikes have a flexibility that unnerves a lot of people. Really, flexibility on the road is just a return to the way things were up until the 50s, when highway-driving attitudes about order and regularity took over. It's little things like looking at the people around you instead of just the traffic light, but all these little things add up to a very different traffic experience. Learning how to deal with uncertainty, and how to respond appropriately, is a real skill that has to be learned. Some drivers, bikers, and walkers have learned, and some have not yet.
