    it’s not fear that you feel when a bus is to your side, it’s more like a vertigo, an incoherence because of a wall moving beside, a dizziness.

    fear is when the bus is a meter behind you or cutting your way to turn left!

      vertigo, an incoherence because of a wall moving beside, a dizziness I have never experienced anything like that. Could you just be instinctually afraid/stressed from riding near buses?

      fear is when the bus is a meter behind you or cutting your way to turn left!

      Fear is when you’re about to take a narrow blind corner and you hear a bus honking from the other side.

      it’s more like a vertigo, an incoherence because of a wall moving beside, a dizziness.

      In other words, an exercise bike probably doesn’t give the full effect, compared to being passed by a bus on a real bike that you have to actually balance.

        For context, most of the drivers on the bikes were freaked out, but they were laughing, they obviously knew they weren’t in danger but they were obviously shocked by the size and presence of the bus
