I know what you mean. Erik constantly misses signs, specifically the speed limit one. Yet he knows what is going on, just doesn't pay attention to the same things as me.

Don't forget smells...noticing the little temperature changes..

I notice things on the bike that I don't notice in the car too. Just was funny that we both noticed it this time and nearly said at the same time.

I have and then I get asked why I slowed down.

I generally take in the scenery during my training runs. It is amazing what you see when you are on foot.
