Why Highway Speed Changes Everything You Thought You Knew About Riding  @MCrider

You've been riding for years, but highway speed runs by a different set of rules than the ones you learned on backroads and city streets — and most riders never stop to recalibrate for it. In this video, I break down three specific habits that quietly stop working once you're up to highway speed: how your following distance holds up against merging traffic and closing gaps, what your body should actually do the instant a passing semi truck blasts you with wind, and the specific kind of attention drift that only shows up on long, low-stimulus highway stretches. If you ride the highway regularly, this recalibrates three things you probably think you already have handled.
