Really? I grew up in a suburb and learned to run against traffic for that reason but I was taught a bicycle is a vehicle and shares the road as such.

Same. Grew up pretty rural and you always biked with traffic and ran and walked against it.

I’ve always seen to run and walk against traffic, never to bike against traffic.

That’s not taught anywhere in the US. Walk/run against traffic yes, because you can jump out of the way. Bikes can’t jump out of the way and the closing speed with traffic is far higher.

Provincial? You're the one going on about a rural way of life. And not in a way that matches my experience; I grew up in a rural area and bicycles went with, not against, other street vehicles. Only pedestrians on the side of the road walk against traffic.
