My brother sent this to me and admittedly said he wouldn't have seen me. Not sure if this is a repost but it's a good reminder that we need to be careful of drivers.

that's right, be extra careful when biking around people playing basketball

I was thinking be extra careful around moonwalking bears

 

[Ventruck]

Hell naw, that was not moonwalking. Either way, it wasn't too hard too notice as a few passes go right by it.

This is so old, the bear is probably dead by now.

 

[OldZaskar]

That's it. I'm never riding in my bear suit again. I had no idea how unsafe it was.

I was proud of myself for counting 13 passes... that went away when I found I'd missed a dancing bear.

This is probably the 5th or 6th time that video's resurfaced in the past year. It makes a valid point which I agree is invaluable...however, I think it's a bit misleading in terms of its premise & conclusion:

When driving a car, you're never doing anything as singularly focussed as Trying To Count The Number Of Passes Between Members Of A Constantly-Moving Basketball Team.

You may be scanning the road taking in all kinds of activity that resembles the seething morass of the above-mentioned bball team, but you're not concentraing on finding patterns within that morass, you're simply looking for anomalies.

Try watching the video again, only this time, instead of of Count The Number Of Passes Made By The White Team, treat the objective as Find The Anomaly. Suddenly that bear sticks out like a sore thumb.

As it should.
