<snip>...getting into a vehicle with four wheels gives one a false sense of security.</snip>
Interestingly I noticed exactly the opposite. After almost exclusively riding instead of using my car, I had to go and pick up some stuff over the weekend and it required use of the car.
I actually felt less secure in the car. One reason is blind-spots. On the bike I have greater visibility of everything around me than I do in the car. I was more tense and more on-the-look-out while in the car.
