I've done a lot more riding this year than in other years (riding 3 or 4 days a week). I was playing Where's Wally with my daughter the other day for the first time in ages, and I have to say I have drastically improved! I was amazed how fast I could find Wally now.

I think all the road riding I've been doing has improved my observational skills a lot. I'm not a physiologist or anything, but I think what is happening is I can take whole sections of the page at a time and Wally just appears to me (best I can describe), rather than what I used to do which was systematically search for Wally on the page.

It got me wondering. I wonder if there are simple cheap exercises like this (maybe not designed for young children! ) that could be used to help riders.

i FOUND HIM HES RIGHT HERE ^^

have you compared the ammount of time you have been spending looking in the mirror? Maybe it has more to do with it than riding?

I've had no problems at all finding Wallys on the roads around D'Auckland - they're everywhere.
The only way to not spot them would be to drive/ride with my eyes shut, and then who would be the real Wally?
