It is dangerous. However, when you consider the economic, environmental, and health advantages it looks better. See http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/06/13/bicycling-the-safest-form-of-transportation/ http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/06/13/bicycling-the-safe.... I feel notably worse inside a week when I stop cycling. You know what the worst part of cycling is? The endless noise and pollution from cars. Cars are a scourge. It is no wonder why drivers are so angry all the time. Who in their right mind wants to spend their time utterly immobilized, doing nothing but trying to avoid hitting other cars? Cycling is always a bit of an adventure, always exhilarating.

I'm all for acceptable public transportation to be the norm, but until then cars work fine. Roads also weren't originally built for bikes. I actually don't know how many of the bigger cities look now, and I imagine most of them have bike lanes, but places like where I live have bikers just taking the right lane because there's no extra space. There also isn't enough space to expand the road to make room for both of us. Ultimately they're a huge hazard because they're difficult to see and hear. I really don't think they should ever mix cars and bikes. Or at least not in high capacity areas. Also you're desire to exercise is completely your own, I'm glad you enjoy it, but it's a personal choice.

  "cars work fine" Global warming, congestion, obesity epidemic, and arguably peak oil. Also: http://www.roadswerenotbuiltforcars.com/ http://www.roadswerenotbuiltforcars.com/ I agree that many downtowns such as those of Las Vegas, Houston, and Atlanta simply are not bikable.
