When I'm riding in town or on the occasions I'm on the bike in Edinburgh or Glasgow etc, my head's twisting and turning all over the place like my neck's made of rubber, trying to keep an eye on everything that's going on.

It's not fun, riding in towns (although it does beat sitting in traffic in the car) but it does become easier. I had it described to me once as it just being risk assessment, i.e. what's the nearest / biggest potential hazard I need to deal with, deal with it then keep working back, which kinda made sense to me.
