In 95% of the US traveling by bike is insanely dangerous. Drivers do not expect to see bikes and their habits are adjusted accordingly. For example driving on the shoulder to let someone pass. Noone expects to see a bike there and pedestrians aren’t foolish enough to stand there, and a bike would be in even more danger in the road itself. In Austin the so called bike lanes are crossed over by car turning lanes. Zero chance of me biking on public roads until bike lanes are physically separated, not just some painted line. I’ve been to Amsterdam and places where it is safe and we are decades if not centuries away from that working here.
