Dallas, where I live now, is about as far away from this as one can imagine.
For that matter, so is the European country I'm originally from (Malta). My brother is an avid cyclist there and gets sneered at by local-redneck-equivalent motorists pretty much everywhere he goes.
- doorhammer 13y agoI used to do the wind/rain/snow type commuting, and I probably should again, but your brother's experience in Malta is similar to mine in the US. You're definitely doing something that most people regard as a nuisance. I've heard of other cities where it's not like that, but I've just never ridden in them. I live in Atlanta now, and it's almost suicidal riding a bike. Obs my sample size of cities is small, but hey, there it is for what it's worth. The video also made me think, "Man, I'd love to cycle in the places, but I'd have to seriously rearrange my US cycling survival skills and attitude toward a less hostile environment."
