Not just bikes, but cars too. I don't know what the cars are like in A Merica, but here in Europe they're all striving to get a good rating in crash testing. This means the A-pillar (between windscreen and door) is becoming thicker with each new model. In my seven year old car already I can not see a whole car about 15 metres away at a certain angle. People just don't know to move their head to double-check what's hiding behind it as they are so set in their ways.
