I am always surprised by this: I live in the UK, our roads are narrow and winding because they are basically medieval (or Roman even) tracks that have been gradually upgraded. It sort or makes sense to me that cycling here is dangerous. But in my experience US roads are very large with many lanes and lanes much wider than cars. It feels like it should be easy to (a) avoid other road uses and (b) take some space to give them dedicated spaces.
