I'm mostly the same on all my bikes, although I might aim for sillier
lines on a 7" travel duallie than a lightweight road bike. What really had
a bad effect on my attitude to cars and other traffic was wearing body
armour and a full face helmet on the way home from riding silly bikes in
a silly fashion.

It's quite scary just how much you feel safe with what really isn't going
to do much, when you eventually notice you're riding a lot more
aggressively than you normally would.
